The FBI Is Targeting the Popular Anti-Paywall Site Archive.Today

The FBI is targeting a popular website for snapshotting websites on request, and may soon make it harder to get past paywalls online. The domain registrar of the site Archive.Today has reportedly been subpoenaed in an attempt to uncover the archive's owner, as first reported by 404 Media. A PDF of the subpoena posted to the Archive.Today X account late last week.The site is similar to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, but is intended more for immediate short term access rather than maintaining a longterm record.

At least 40 pct people suffer from respiratory problems after Diwali, warn docs

Every year, Diwali is a festival that is widely celebrated across India.
