I would personally like to thank Facebook, Twitter,
and other "social" media platforms for contributing to the end of Google Groups'
partnership with and carrier of UseNet Newsgroups content.

Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, et al, you have definitively lowered the bar of internet
discourse, and provided channels for the dissemination of anonymous hate speech,
and conspiratorial falsehoods online.

Sadly, many members and participants in Usenet and it's distributors, along with
participants in moderated subject forums, have gone the low road by abandoning those legitimate channels of intelligent discourse, instead choosing to take their interests into the commercial and political cesspool of "social" media.

In their place, much like the weeds coming up through cracks in the pavement of abandoned roads, are the spammers, the bots, the hockers of illegitimate product.

I highly encourage those who care about civilized internet to see other means of continuing their Usenet discourse, including apps devoted to providing access to Usenet Groups.
