[FSF] Supporter Item: Google reinstates federated instant messaging

[Libby Reinish]

### Google reinstates federated instant messaging 

*From April 18th* 

We want to commend Google for doing the right thing. We reported a few
weeks ago that Google had started blocking invites sent from
non-Google Jabber servers. This was done as a crude anti-spam measure.
We are happy to report that Google has since rolled out proper
antispam filtering for its Jabber service, and has removed the invite
block.
