RIP, newspapers. RIP, Facebook. What next? 2026-02-28T22:28:13-06:00 Jane the Actuary For most of my adult life, I was a subscriber to the Chicago Tribune.  That ended in November, or a couple months prior, depending on how you measure, since I cancelled but didn’t demand a pro-rate refund for the prepaid portion, and it finally ran out in November.  Funny thing is, though, that I can still access Trib content through the app, since I was a subscriber when I first downloaded and logged on.  Maybe eventually it’ll catch on, but in the meantime — do I read articles and feel bad about having cancelled?  No, not at all, most of the time it just affirms my decision, though it’s more of a hassle to share things online.  The quality of the news reporting has gone downhill, and that decline accelerated a couple years ago when they were bought by a private equity company, not because, as was feared, the company was going to impose its own viewpoint, but because, as far as I could tell,  » Read More

Marshall Helmberger REGIONAL— Lake Vermilion is the site of yet another false, nature-related Facebook post that purports a strange phenomenon left a radio-collared wolf dead at the bottom of the lake. The fictitious story, posted last Friday, Feb. 20 by a Uhgv622, cites a UMD wildlife biologist named Dr. Sarah Kline, who several online searches confirmed does not exist. As is common with such stories, this one had supernatural overtones along with specific details to build credibility, such as a claim that divers from the St. Louis County Rescue Squad recovered the wolf’s body from under the ice. Though false, the sensationalistic nature of the post generated lots of traffic on Facebook, with several hundred comments and shares over the first couple days that the post went live. Many of the comments suggested readers recognized the post as false, or likely so, but their engagement with the post, whether critical or not, is what the posters are seeking. The story is one of a growing number of fictitious posts, mostly generated by individuals utilizing artificial intelligence.  » Read More

A bipartisan bill pending in Congress would require social media platforms to first verify a company’s business credentials before allowing it to advertise. I was scammed by a company advertising on Facebook as Hugo & Rose Charleston. It appeared to be a well-established, family owned boutique with a brick-and-mortar store in South Carolina. I later learned I was far from alone. After paying $54 with my credit card for what I expected to be a beautiful red blouse made of high quality material, a month later I received a thin polyester shirt in a weird color with crooked stitching, cheap buttons without a store label or care instructions — nothing like the photograph in the ad. Only after a deeper online search did I learn Hugo & Rose Charleston was a company with no verifiable street address in South Carolina. My purchase had been processed through a merchant account in the Netherlands, and the blouse had been shipped from China. The company’s website domain had been registered just seven weeks earlier. When I asked for a full refund,  » Read More
