X tests cross-posting to Instagram, Snapchat stories–Users aren't happy Elon Musk’s X is set to introduce another feature as the platform tests new ways to share posts from X to Instagram and Snapchat stories. The announcement comes after X head of product Nikita Bier took to the official account and confirmed the launch of “react with video” feature. The feature allows the users to record video reactions directly within the app and turn every post into a potential content creation studio. This time too Nikita Bier posted the announcement of X, stating, “We are testing two new ways to share posts from X to Instagram & Snapchat Stories.” There are two different versions depending on how you share it: Share the videos from the timeline From the fullscreen view According to Bier, one can “share a post with a reply—for those moments when you want to show off an incredible ratio.” X tests cross-posting to Instagram, Snapchat stories–Users aren't happy Shared videos now automatically include watermarks. The style of the watermark adapts based on whether the content was shared from the timeline or the fullscreen view. This is not X's original idea. Bier thanked the people involved in this project

Alerta al consumidor: Estafa de compensación laboral dirigida a trabajadores que hablan español Attorney General Nick Brown is warning Washington residents about a scam targeting injured, Spanish-speaking workers across the Pacific Northwest. This scam has not yet been documented in Washington, but Washington workers should be aware that they may be targeted.  The Scam Scammers contact the injured worker via phone, email, video call, text message, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, or social media apps, and falsely claim to represent government agencies, law firms, or courts. Communications may appear official because they include government agency seals, use government agency addresses, include signatures by government officials, or identify the caller as a government representative, attorney, or judge, but the communications are fraudulent.  The scammers tell the worker that they must pay money to receive workers’ compensation benefits or to receive a settlement. Scammers may request payment in the form of gift cards, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency. After the worker pays, the scammers cut off contact and take the injured worker’s money.  In a variation of this scam, imposters try to convince the worker to appear at a fake online workers’ compensation hearing. The hearing may appear official and may include a fake judge

The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that it is considering modifying or setting aside a 2022 settlement order with what was then Twitter for using account security data to support targeted advertising. Twitter, renamed X in 2023, filed a petition saying that the settlement terms are unfair because the order was issued against a company that “no longer exists,” the workers responsible for the scheme no longer work for X and the firm has since established a “world class” privacy and data protection program, according to an FTC call for public comment. The tech giant was fined $150 million and prohibited from continuing to profit from what an FTC press release at the time called “deceptively collected data.” Twitter came under new ownership in October 2022 when Elon Musk bought the company.  X is also arguing that the order “no longer serves any valid regulatory purpose, imposing millions of dollars in needless costs to address obligations and protections already required by domestic and international privacy regimes and industry-recognized frameworks that X Corp. follows,” the press release said. The tech giant holds that setting the order aside is in keeping with First Amendment principles and that changing or setting aside the

Cornwell told WRAL she was connected with a group administrator who claimed to be acting as a middleman between buyers and sellers. After sending payment through Zelle, Cornwell said the tickets never arrived. Following that report, the Facebook group had undergone a significant rebrand. The group previously operated under the name "Carolina Hurricanes Verified Ticket Exchange." It is now called "Canes Verified Tickets" and features a different profile image.  » Read More

BENSON, Minn. — An emotional debate in Swift County has been resolved in what members of the County Board said they hope is an amicable if costly manner. The commissioners at their Tuesday, June 2, meeting unanimously approved transferring ownership of K-9 Red to his handler, Sheriff’s Deputy Steve Henriksen, for $5,000. “With all the parameters, all the issues it touches, this is probably the best result if it is amicable for everyone,” said commissioner Gary Hendrickx, who made the motion for the transfer. “A highly emotional subject,” said commissioner Pete Peterson. “I understand that and I understand protecting the county’s investment for the taxpayers.” But he added: “I feel the $5,000 is way too much.” The fate of Red, a Malinois-Shepherd mix originally from Slovakia, recently became the focus of debate when Deputy Henriksen submitted his resignation via email to the county’s human resources officer, while accepting another position. In his resignation email, the deputy asked to purchase the K-9 and the equipment for the dog for $1. Henriksen has been the handler since the dog was acquired in March 2022 at about 11 months of age.  » Read More
