LONDON — Russia is increasingly pressuring Google, Twitter and Facebook to fall in line with Kremlin internet crackdown orders or risk restrictions inside the country, as more governments around the world challenge the companies’ principles on online freedom. Russia’s internet regulator, Roskomnadzor, recently ramped up its demands for the Silicon Valley companies to remove online content that it deems illegal or restore pro-Kremlin material that had been blocked. The warnings have come… Source link

New York prosecutors haven’t revealed what they know about Donald Trump’s finances. But new developments suggest it’s ominous for the former president. The New York state attorney general, Letitia James, announced on May 18 that a civil investigation into Trump’s business, the Trump Organization, is now a criminal investigation. James didn’t explain the change, but her office has been gathering detailed information on Trump’s business activity for more than two years. Trump has… Source link

Kevin Durant has been ruled out of the rest of Sunday afternoon’s game against the Miami Heat after suffering a left thigh contusion, the Brooklyn Nets announced.  Durant slowly left the bench area for the locker room during the first quarter. His left thigh appeared to slam into Miami’s Trevor Ariza on a drive to the basket.  He was examined by a trainer on the sideline before heading to the locker room.  After Miami’s 109-107 win, Nets head coach Steve Nash was unsure of Durant’s status… Source link

There are strawberries growing in the village of Neuville, Quebec, in the middle of a Canadian winter. The small farm Le Caveau à Légumes is funneling the excess heat from crypto miners to battle the frost, and grow a rarity for the region. “Now is really cold, so we need the heat,” Melissa Girard, an agronomist at the small producer, told CoinDesk in a phone interview. “We couldn’t afford to produce strawberries if we had to pay for electricity.” The farm is among a growing number… Source link

The new-look Nets barely won their first game on Saturday over an injury-riddled Heat team, 128-124. Miami, without Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, or Meyers Leonard, was within three points with 15 seconds to play. Steve Nash and his coaching staff have a lot to work on with the Kyrie Irving–Kevin Durant–James Harden Nets, and while that isn’t a shock so soon after the blockbuster trade for Harden, it’s been disappointing to see Brooklyn stumble through its last three games. The team fell to the… Source link

The Cowboys had not returned a kickoff for a touchdown since 2008. It’s odd, then, to think that rookie CeeDee Lamb would get barked at by his coaching staff and teammates for finally taking one to the house in the waning moments of Sunday’s meeting with the visiting 49ers. But that’s exactly what happened. After one of the most electrifying plays of Dallas’s disappointing 2020 season, the promising young rookie found himself apologizing. “Honestly, it all happened so fast. It was… Source link

LeBron James has caught no shortage of flak for how he announced he was joining the Miami Heat back in 2010, but there was apparently at least one person who had a problem with how he left the team. That person would be Chris Bosh, who discussed the circumstances of his former teammate’s departure for the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency during an appearance on Thursday’s episode of the “All the Smoke” podcast. When asked by host Matt Barnes how James told him of the decision, Bosh… Source link
