    And today

    Effective from 15 February 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and searching of historical data will still be supported as it is done today.

    What would you expect from Google? They are all about control, tracking
    people, and crushing free enterprise. All while making a very handsome
    profit doing so.

    complaints. I also donate to it once a year as it is a user funded. May
    use the email version in 2024 when Microsoft revamps Outlook.

    that is good thing to do, from what can see Mozilla are genuinely fighting against anti-free speechers, unlike the liars on Wikipedia where all donations actually go to "WikiMEDIA" a very very rich $$$ woke company. The liars try to trick everyone with
    their con adverts, but more and more ppl are finding out.

    I USED to donate to Wikipedia because I visit the website often. That is
    until this year when I found out that they have a huge chest of money. I
    was not aware that they diverted donations to Wikimedia...hence I can
    assure one and all that I won't donate to Wikipedia ever again.
