Jurgen, While I think Google Groups has good mechanisms for sharing ideas and content (without algorithm-based interference like FB has)...and aside from Google's business model of harvesting data for search purposes, etc., the bigger practical issue would be setting up the group to comply with the GDPR and CCPA's data protection and "right to be forgotten" requirements. Maintaining consent, knowing where the data resides, and when it has been exfiltrated become important under both, as email addresses and more data point become classed as personal information under both. It can certainly be done correctly, but needs considerable forethought, especially when a group has an international membership base.

Fronimo uses google groups and it never occurred to me that google hijacked posts for advertisement purposes.
