The CU and Google Groups The present situation is that out of five continuously-used Communist University Google Groups, two have been shut down by Google. No reasons have been given. One was our News group. The other was the Coast CU. The remaining three could go without warning, any time. Five years ago, e-mail traffic had gone way down. We opened in Whatsapp and quickly exceeded the Google groups there, in terms of dialogue generated. But we soon found that Whatsapp was unsatisfactory, so we opened up in Telegram, and Telegram is now our main application. Google groups are a CU "legacy". We kept them going. But there is very little discussion there. We do not know how many people are reading the posts, if any. There has been very little feedback to our communications about the shut-downs. All things must eventually pass. I have come to the conclusion that this is as good a time as any to cease sending CU material to Google Groups. As members, you may still continue to post in these groups. If and when it becomes necessary to close the groups, later, I will do so. We remain in Whatsapp and Telegram. Membership in Telegram is three times greater than membership in Whatsapp, and the difference is growing. At some stage we may also cease with Whatsapp, for this and other reasons. You are consequently recommended to Telegram. In Telegram the CU keeps its five main groups going (Inland; Coast; Youth/TU; International; and CU News) plus valuable new services, including our library "VITABU" and the new-writing publication "CU Iskra".
