For at least the past 20 years, Usenet has been so full of spam that it’s been made virtually unusable. If de-peering is an option, then why haven’t the providers that allow spammers to operate gotten de-peered?

Most spam was from Google. Google was kicked off Usenet last year or the year before that.
