Closure of Yahoo Groups

Yahoo Groups was an online platform that allowed users to create and participate in discussion groups on various topics. In October 2020, Yahoo announced the closure of Yahoo Groups, citing a decline in usage and the challenge of maintaining the service. This decision meant that all group content, including discussions and files, was permanently deleted, leaving many users without access to valuable information and community connections. The closure underscored the shifting landscape of online platforms, as newer social media began to dominate communication and group interaction.
