Call Google about usenet Spam
amdx
Tell them the problem they're letting happen is on usenet in general but
look at sci.electronics.design as an example. Please add this to any group
where google is the source of spam. A few hundred calls to there
switchboard may arouse interest.

I tried calling and it took awhile to reach a live person. They said you
need to report abuse through on-line methods. I could not find a good site
for this. But here is the list of all Google offices. Maybe it will get
attention to call all of them. And maybe send multi-page faxes, with one
big word on each page, like "Stop Gmail Users From Spamming Usenet", and
"Gmail Users Are Advertising Illegal Porn On Usenet".
Maybe there is an 800 number for something like Google Advertising. Call
them on their nickel, and waste their time talking about how you would like
to put a big expensive ad in Gmail. Take your time, and finally tell them
that the ad will be for donations to a proposed non-profit organization
dedicated to the eradication of usenet abuse through Google GMail.
Also, contact the Federal Trade Commission and FBI, especially for the
underage porn crap.

They did when I called. Maybe they are getting flooded with calls. You will
get their automated voice system, but hit "0" to get the operator. Maybe
set up a "daemon dialer" with a recorded message and annoy them into
action. Make a direct complaint to the FBI about Google enabling
pornmongers and underage sexploitation to be de-semenated on usenet.

Apparently, Google's Captcha for signing up for e-mail accounts got
cracked. What we you are probably seeing is the result of spammers
obtaining gmail accounts.
What Google needs is some advertisers to call and tell them that they
are expecting partial refunds, as not all Google users are real people
viewing ads anymore.

organized phone calling plan or an email campaign might. It's much easier to
set at the computer or phone and bring awareness.:-)
How about March 21 for GOOGLE AWARENESS DAY.
Need volunteers to search usable email addresses and phone line extensions.
Now take the ball and run with it.

Or may be not, I remember I used to post from my own domains account
initially via google; at some point this stopped working so I had to
create
and use a gmail account (which just worked for me, no invites etc.
were
needed). And today I noticed I was posting from my non-gmail address
to
some groups (had not changed the subscription thing somehow), so I
set all addresses to my old address - if this message makes it
I'll know it works again. It is a real address which gets so much spam
already I am past any fear it can begin getting any more... :-).

Just add gmail to your kill file. Then you won't see them. In addition,
as it becomes known that gmail accounts are tainted due to their lax
complaint enforcement, people will stop using them. Google's ad revenue
goes down and Wall Street takes notice.

IMO the ability for people from all over the world to share,
cooperate, and communicate via USENET is one of the greatest forces
for good, ever. It'd be a shame to lose that to spammers.

Hey, i think you are on the right track. Now we need to build the
social network to make it happen. The protester's signs could read
"Google helps spammers" or something like that.
JosephKK
If that line of thinking worked, it would have happened already. It
has not.
Michael A. Terrell
Or "Use ANY other search engine till Google cleans up it's mess on
Usenet!"
What would be even better would be to picket outside every Google
office worldwide, on the same day.
