LOGAN — After multiple bomb threats on Sunday, Oct. 9, 2023, multiple more threats were reported in Utah on Monday. First, at a St. George airport and then another at Cache Valley Mall in Logan. Explosives were not found at either location, nor were there any found the previous Sunday. The airport director, Rich Steahmeier, told KSL TV that only one terminal was evacuated at St. George Airport around 8 a.m.. It only had one passenger inside, because all other flights had taken off. They moved TSA and Skywest to another terminal during the investigation. Steahmeier said it took about an hour for police to determine that there was no threat. The airport opened back up and the person who was evacuated made their flight. Later on Monday at about 1:30 p.m., the Logan City Police Department initiated a Utah State University bomb dog to clear Cache Valley Mall after everyone was evacuated. Police are asking people to stay away from the area until their search is done, in which case they may reopen the mall later.  » Read More

The move, a reverse of streaming content services which are adding advertising, is reportedly being considered by Meta’s Instagram and Facebook. The cost of what Meta calls SNA (subscription no ads)? $US14 a month for Instagram and nearly $17 for Facebook. The Wall Street Journal says the proposal was presented to regulators in the European Union where new rules threaten the delivery of personalised ads without user consent. “Meta has told regulators it hopes to roll out the plan ... in coming months for European users,” reports the WSJ. “It would give users the choice between continuing to access Instagram and Facebook free with personalised ads, or paying for versions of the services without any ads, people familiar with the proposal said.” A Meta spokesperson said the company “believes in free services which are supported by personalised ads,  » Read More
