Google has announced that it will discontinue support for Google Groups on the Usenet network starting from February 22, 2024. This decision is based on the decreasing usage of Usenet due to the availability of newer technologies that offer better content delivery than plain text messages.
For users who still want to utilize Usenet, Google recommends connecting to their NNTP servers, which will also be discontinued. Instead, they suggest migrating to alternative Usenet clients and using other Usenet servers.
Google Groups has been supporting Usenet since its inception in 2001, providing a platform for receiving news and information from various sources.
TLDR: Google is ending support for Google Groups on the Usenet network due to declining usage. Users are advised to switch to alternative Usenet clients and servers.
