A Thai Cabinet minister is threatening to try to shut down Facebook in the country, saying the social media platform does not do enough to screen the advertisements it runs, leaving people vulnerable to costly scams. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File) (WHNT) — There’s a lot of buzz lately about verified social media accounts, thanks to Twitter’s announcement of the $8-a-month program and Meta’s announcement of their $14.99-a-month program for a “verified account.” Social media has long been a favorite haunt of scammers. In light of those two facts, businesses and consumers should be alert to how the scammers will use this latest twist to benefit themselves. BBB is monitoring reports to BBB Scam Tracker, and recently the BBB Institute for Marketplace Trust and Amazon (a BBB Accredited Business) partnered to educate consumers on impersonation scams.  » Read More

Firefighter Bobby Grant and his wife Amber Grant make crockpot lasagna in the first episode of Food on Fire. | Photo provided The Owensboro Fire Department is sharing some favorite firehouse recipes through their new Facebook cooking show called “Food on Fire.” The show gives viewers a look into the kitchens inside the fire stations. OFD Captain Bobby Grant said since the stations are like second homes for the firefighters, they often cook most of their meals there while on the clock. Sometimes, they must leave for a call before eating a freshly prepared meal. “There’s been many times where we’ve cooked a nice meal, and we’ve got called out to a run, and we come back to a cold dinner, but that’s just part of the job. We know that going in, and we just warm it up and eat,” he said. The idea for the show came after a conversation between Shaelie Velez, the City of Owensboro’s Communications & Marketing Manager, and OFD Fire Chief James Howard.  » Read More

Here are the devastating ways Facebook causes divorce, according to research: It makes it easy for spouses to snoopFacebook really puts a couple’s trust to the test, and sadly, a lot of them fail.

X owner Elon Musk on Wednesday accused Facebook of “manipulating the public” in the latest escalation in the ongoing war of words with his possible “cage match” foe Mark Zuckerberg. Musk shredded Zuckerberg in response to an exposé by Sky News Australia, which alleged in a sweeping report that Meta-owned Facebook has been bankrolling a fact-checking operation that has purportedly censored political content ahead of a key Australian referendum. “Facebook is manipulating the public almost everywhere on Earth,” Musk wrote on his rebranded site formerly known as Twitter. “That is why they won’t open-source their algorithm.” The report claimed the Meta-funded Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology has repeatedly placed fact checks on posts that expressed opinions or views opposed to the creation of a proposed “Voice to Parliament” that would advocate on behalf of indigenous communities in Australia. “An audit of RMIT Voice fact checks showed the 17 Voice checks between May 3 and June 23 this year were all targeting anti-Voice opinions or views,” the report said.

Facebook Messenger E2E encryption has been available to some users for some years now, but a full rollout has taken longer than expected. The company says it is now expanding end-to-end encrypted messaging to “millions” more people, and promises that it will be standard for everyone by the end of the year … Encryption versus end-to-end encryption Currently, everything you send via Facebook Messenger is encrypted – but not using end-to-end (E2E) encryption. This means that Facebook owner Meta has a copy of the encryption key. Anyone in the company with the necessary access rights could read your private messages, as could any hacker who managed to gain the same access. E2E encryption is different. With this, only the sender(s) and recipient(s) have the keys needed to decrypt the messages. Nobody at Meta could read your messages even if they had total access to all the company’s systems. E2E encryption has for some time now been the expected standard, used by iMessage, FaceTime, WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram (when enabled), and more.  » Read More
