Google doesn't have any obligations to keep their services up and running in any ways,

They offer these as long as they contribute to generate income by providing information

And why should a multi-national company of that size stick to promises they made in the
past? Unfortunately, ethics and principles don't play much of a role when it comes to
making money for companies of these sizes. It's about revenue in the first place.
I think that we should avoid Google as a host, but that's just my humble opinion.
Unfortunately, I don't have alternatives to come up with except for another mailing
list, since I never tried groups.io.

Although we all know Google will be around
forever
they destroyed dejanews despite promising to keep it.
A few long threads I discussed things with Tanenbaum and a guy named
Torvalds, gone.
Also some responses from a guy named DMR.
Google.? uh no, not a fan.? Remember google plus?? Google hangouts is
gone this year.? I hold a grudge.? Could go on.? If they get bored with
groups, wonder if they'll do a better job preserving it.
