You can tinfoil and dude yourself. Usenet is dying partly
because google, and not only google, are paying trolls
to destroy it. It's the last place this side of the dark web
where freedom of expression still exists. I was posting
on compuserve when there was no usenet yet and you
were still desparately looking for a hole in your old man's
condom.
   
Sure, everyone is free not to browse usenet, but on the
user side more users would make spamming trolling
difficult and ineffective. You may have noticed that
it's when a newgroup falls below a dozen or so regulars
that they begin to easily flood with little effort.
