Because while God created the Internet, the Devil twisted it by creating
spammers.

What do you expect? Adam just didn't pay enough attention when Eve made
him a waldorf salad; we descendants of Seth have gone and tried to
devour not only the knowledge of good and evil but all knowledge of all
things, most notably breasts.

Of course there'd be a dire consequence for our hubris.

Do you report those spammers?

While Google is extremely lazy with dealing with spammers, if sufficient
people report them action might be taken. Also make sure to report those
spammers with their ISP; posts via GG contain the posting IP address.

Even trolls can be hurt, if enough people report them:

Mostly because cancel messages are invariably ignored nowadays.
