Einde van een internettijdperk: KPN stopt met XS4ALL Homepages

Per 1 juli komt er definitief een einde aan een stukje Nederlandse internetgeschiedenis. KPN heeft aangekondigd dat alle bestaande XS4ALL Homepages offline worden gehaald. Daarmee verdwijnen duizenden persoonlijke websites die voor veel internetgebruikers ooit hun eerste stap op het web vormden.

In Germany, tens of thousands of people marched for a faster energy transition. A very logical demand, but I don't think we've ever had a demonstration for it in the Netherlands.

Justice Department asks to toss convictions of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys

The Justice Department has asked a federal appeals court to throw out the seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders who were sentenced to prison terms for leading members of the far-right extremist groups in attacking the U.S. Capitol over five years ago. Trump commuted the prison sentences of several Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders last January in a sweeping act of clemency for all 1,500-plus defendants charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. Tuesday's requests by the Justice Department would go a step further and erase the convictions for the extremist group leaders, including Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes.
