Read below 👇 why you should start using LibreSpeed from now on for internet speed tests

"Speedtest and Downdetector were just sold to Accenture for $1.2 billion. (...) Ookla, the parent company of both tools, has been acquired by the global IT consulting giant Accenture (...).

e: see replies for an important note on the nextcloud paper!

The right wing’s war on online content moderation has reached its final form.

The U.S. government has banned EU officials and non-profit heads who have been involved in regulating hate speech on social media in the EU from visiting America.
