I can see how they are caught between a rock and a hard place.

I can't. How does GoogleGroups situation differ from other Usenet
gateways?

Enforcing their stated policies concerning the posting of articles to
Usenet doesn't seem to be too big a problem for most ISPs, premium
Usenet providers, and web-based gateways. Why shouldn't it be
expected of GoogleGroups too?

Because Google Groups is free and they don't have a good way confirming you
are who you say you are. If I create a new account and spam with it on
Google I just open a new account when they close the old one. Supernews on
the other hand requires me to pay with a credit card or my ISP pays them.
