I have Newshosting, but I haven't heard any talk (or seen anything) that would lead me to believe they're doing it, or about to do it.

I have had a few "Adult" newsgroups disappear, that held IMHO legal to view images. (NOT KIDDIE PORN, or anything like it!!!) 
There have been several other groups that have disappeared too, with "nudist" in the name, so you can draw your own conclusions... 
By disapeared, I mean that you get an error message that the newsgroup is not available when you try to get new headers..
