What do chatrooms, Space Jam, and pizza delivery have in common? They all surfaced the web in the 1990s!
Take a trip down memory lane and get a run-down of how web design evolved in the first decade of its existence.

Nick Pickles, director of Twitter’s public policy strategy, says that today’s speech by Mark Zuckerberg “will rightly be recognised as a landmark point in the debate”, which I suppose is true if we are building landmarks noting the obfuscation of that debate.

"Zuckerberg’s conservative leadership team has made its design choice: disinformation is fine, because it serves their political interests."
Ik heb de volledige speech en ondervraging van Zuckerberg not niet gezien. Ik ben heel benieuwd welke lange termijn gevolgen het kruisverhoor gaat hebben in komende jaren en met de presidentsverkiezingen in aantocht.
