SPRING VALLEY, Minn. (KTTC) – A KTTC public records request shows a complaint against a city of Spring Valley employee was closed without any disciplinary action.

WELLFLEET — The moderators of the town’s most popular online forum — the “Wellfleet Community Space,” a private Facebook group in which only the 12,300 admitted members can see what is posted — have implemented new guardrails in recent weeks to stop the spread of misinformation and lower tensions after receiving threatening messages, according to the group’s three administrators, Jessica Larsen, Farrukh Najmi, and Mike Davis. Jessica Larsen is one of three Wellfleet Community Space administrators. (Photos by Agata Storer). All three said in separate interviews on April 26 that posts from a vocal minority of users about two housing projects in town — the recently completed Lawrence Hill apartments and the planned development of Maurice’s Campground — have “inundated” the Community Space group with half-truths and personal attacks. To curtail “anger, suspicion, and misinformation,” the moderators removed seven users, including county commission candidate Eric Schwaab of Barnstable, and changed the site’s settings so that every post needs approval from one of the three administrators before it can go live. The Wellfleet Community Space was created in 2013 and typically gets more than 600 posts per month that run the gamut from local bird sightings to recommendations for “reasonably priced

Published on 29/04/2026 - 9:58 GMT+2•Updated 11:34 The European Commission has issued a preliminary finding against Meta for allegedly failing to prevent children under 13 from using Instagram and Facebook. ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT The Commission said that its findings showed the US tech giant’s systems are in breach of the Digital Services Act (DSA). Meta’s own terms of service set 13 as the minimum age for both platforms, but the Commission said that the company's age enforcement measures are largely ineffective, as children can enter a false date of birth when signing up, with no mechanism in place to verify whether the information is accurate. The Commission said that roughly 10-12% of children under 13 are using Instagram and Facebook, which contradicts Meta’s internal assessments. It also found that Meta “disregarded readily available scientific evidence,” indicating that younger children are particularly vulnerable to harms from services like Facebook and Instagram. How has Meta responded? Meta said in a statement to Euronews that it disagrees with these preliminary findings.  » Read More
