QAnon believers say President Donald Trump is heroically fighting a 'deep state' run by a cabal of satanic pedophiles. The far-right conspiracy theory group also played a central role in the violent, deadly January 6 siege of the US Capitol building. And now, Amazon wants absolutely nothing to do with its members--or its merchandise. CNN reports Amazon is banning QAnon merchandise from its marketplace, and is in the process of removing QAnon products. The company said it may take a few days to rid itself entirely of QAnon T-shirts, flags, bumper stickers, and the like.
European authorities say one of the internet’s largest forums for criminal activity has been seized and the man believed to be its operator has been arrested. Gizmodo reports DarkMarket boasted nearly half a million users and over 200,000 re-sellers. On it, they could digitally swap drugs, malware, stolen credit card data, and SIM cards, among other things. Law enforcement co-opted DarkMarket's infrastructure, confiscating over 20 servers in Ukraine and Moldova, where the operation was apparently located. However, officials have yet to reveal just who was arrested in connection with the darknet. They refer to the man only as a 34-year-old 'Australian national' who was apparently taken into custody by police somewhere near the German-Danish border.
Trying to cut the fat from the household budget is nothing new, and one strategy is to 'cut the cord' by getting rid of cable TV. But unless you can get your TV from a roof antenna, you'll have to have cheap, fast internet to stream your programs. According to TechNewsWorld.com, cutting the cable TV cord is a mixed bag for most people. You'll probably just lower your TV bill by streaming, rather than saving a ton of money. On the other hand, you can bounce from free trials to low-cost offerings to find the ideal solution. Most streaming services don't require contracts, so you can explore different options depending on your viewing habits and your family's needs.
