Starting on February 22, 2024, you can no longer use Google Groups (at 
groups.google.com) to post content to Usenet groups, subscribe to Usenet 
groups, or view new Usenet content. You can continue to view and search 
for historical Usenet content posted before February 22, 2024 on Google 
Groups.

In addition, Google’s Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) server and 
associated peering will no longer be available, meaning Google will not 
support serving new Usenet content or exchanging content with other NNTP 
servers.

This change will not impact any non-Usenet content on Google Groups, 
including all user and organization-created groups. Most of the current 
Google Groups content  is not Usenet content and will not be affected.
