SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - Lieutenant T.C. Faulconer of the Sevierville Police Department has resigned over a comment he made on the WVLT News Facebook page. A news release from the department said Faulconer commented on a WVLT post about the recent assault on Democratic U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar.

SINGAPORE – The police have issued a second order to Meta to target scammers on Facebook, which it must comply with or risk a fine of up to $1 million. The implementation directive under the Online Criminal Harms Act (OCHA) was issued on Jan 27. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the second directive requires Meta, the parent company of Facebook, to implement enhanced facial recognition measures and prioritise the review of end-user reports from Singapore. This is to reduce scam advertisements, accounts, profiles and business pages that impersonate two sets of people. The first set includes government office-holders in Singapore who were not covered in the first directive that was issued on Sept 24, 2025. Meta must implement the measures for this set by Jan 31. The second set covers people in Singapore whom the police have assessed to be at high risk of being impersonated, including those who have been impersonated and have filed police reports. Meta must implement the measures for this set by Feb 28.  » Read More

Sopa Images | Lightrocket | Getty Images Meta Platforms is set to test new subscription models across its apps, including Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp in the coming months, according to a report from TechCrunch on Tuesday.  The report, confirmed by a Meta spokesperson, said the subscriptions are expected to "unlock more productivity and creativity" by giving paid users access to more features and expanded AI capabilities.  Meta's recently acquired suite of general AI agents under Manus will also be scaled as part of the subscription plans.
