Newsoo The French usenet group got raided and shut down by the police.
This may be just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to actions against “newsgroups”. The main attention nowadays are the peer to peer sharing webpages like thepiratebay or KickAssTorrents, but the old news groups stayed in silence on the background, surviving all the persecution that major sharing webpages have seen.
Unlike Peer to Peer (Torrents) pages, with Newsgroups, you get the files directly from the server, which means much faster transfer speeds and bigger anonymity/higher safety.
I just hope for the best. That this was a single isolated case; and not a change of strategy by the authorities.
To rap this up I will leave you with some parts of the news and the source url so you can visit it and read all the details:
