Is there anyone at Google that is able to address the ongoing
abuse problems that are coming out of your services like classroom,
groups and otherwise?

(with the caveat that i don't know anything about classroom, or groups
really, but had walked down
this path with reader back-when)

The problem(s) from jared's original mail SOUND like a broken thing in
some services
that PROBABLY tried to provide protections, those either  missed the
mark or work broken along
some timeline... and maybe need some attention to fix/course-correct.

It is a well know issue of a company named Google that supports
spammers.

It took months months until they switched of Google Groups Newsgroups
It was being flooded with millions of spam posts and nobody took action.

Google wants it that way.

I don't think this is accurate.
