March 21, 2026, 6:02 a.m. ET Just to set things straight, I don't have an uncle. And I'm fairly certain that if I did, he wouldn't be selling a bunch of cut-rate vehicles and Rolex watches on my Facebook page. I've been hacked. So buyer beware — not only of my fake used car lot and pawn shop, but of anything that seems even the least bit suspicious on Facebook or any other online nest of snakes and scoundrels.  » Read More

A Michigan synagogue on Thursday posted photos on social media of major fire damage that occurred when an attacker drove a pickup truck into the building last week before killing himself. One image shows tables of fruits and snacks left uneaten when the midday strike occurred near an early childhood education room at Temple Israel in suburban Detroit. Photos reveal loose wires in the hallway, an exposed ceiling and blackened walls, including an array of celebratory photos ruined by fire. Sprinklers ran for hours. The synagogue decided to share photos after an earlier release of law enforcement images was “incredibly triggering” to members of Temple Israel, Rabbi Josh Bennett told The Associated Press. “We share these images because our community deserves to see our building through the eyes of love, not through the lens of spectacle. This is our sacred space, and we will be the ones to tell its story,” Temple Israel said on Facebook, sharing the images along with a link to contribute to rebuilding efforts.

The city of Sedalia is facing backlash after offensive comments about a mayoral candidate were posted on its official Facebook page. Sedalia City Administrator Matthew Wirt told KRCG that the comments do not reflect the city's core values. (KRCG) City leaders say the employee responsible has since been fired, but the candidate targeted says this goes beyond one post. Traves Williams says what happened on the city’s Facebook page is just the latest example of what he calls months of harassment since entering the race for mayor. Traves Williams is running for Sedalia mayor against incumbent Andrew Dawson. Over the weekend, he became the target of controversial comments posted on the city's official Facebook page. In response to a user criticizing Dawson in a Sedalia Facebook group, the city's account replied:"Dawson can read and write well. He's actually extremely smart. If Traves Williams can do better, I want and need to hear how he plans to guide us.”The post continues:"The truth is,  » Read More

Facebook has begun restricting content from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán just weeks ahead of the high-stakes parliamentary election scheduled for 12 April. According to a post on X by right-wing political commentator Mario Nawfal, the move followed a call by a member of the opposition Tisza party, Dóra Dávid—a former employee of Meta—who urged supporters to mass-report Orbán’s posts. Nawfal also raises questions about the online performance of Tisza leader Péter Magyar, whose engagement figures are described as disproportionately high compared to those of global political figures, despite Hungary’s relatively small and linguistically limited user base. It further alleges that Magyar has used a personal ‘professional mode’ profile rather than an official political page, potentially circumventing Meta’s established rules governing political content. According to Nawfal, there are also concerns about the neutrality of Meta’s content moderation practices, as a regional official has publicly expressed positions aligned with mainstream European narratives, including pro-Ukraine messaging and content critical of the Hungarian government. Nawfal’s post was shared by Political Director of the Hungarian Prime Minister Balázs Orbán.  » Read More
