I've come across this.
https://support.google.com/groups/answer/11036538?hl=en

Hopefully this means the end of newsgroup spam. It also means that the
ongoing archive that Deja News started will cease to grow. How long
Google keeps the old content there is anybody's guess.

I wonder if someone else - archive .org maybe - will step forward to
fill the gap.

As I've posted previously, there is narkive.com which includes
https://soc.genealogy.britain.narkive.com
You can use the web site search e.g. site://narkive.com "ian goddard"
or the Advanced search option in many search engines

Knowing how little of a shit Google gave about the Usenet archives in
the first place, I wouldn't be shocked if it all gets tossed in the
trash the moment February 22nd comes.
