A magistrate who liked a post on LinkedIn which contained ‘several politically sensitive statements’ has been issued formal advice for misconduct.  Source: Alamy A complaint was made by a member of the public that Adrian Kermode had liked a posted in August 2025 on LinkedIn and his actions were in breach of the standards of conduct expected of judicial office-holders. Kermode accepted responsibility and apologised. A spokesperson for the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office said Kermode took ‘prompt action to delete the like and gave assurances as to his future conduct’. However the JCIO said the magistrate’s actions ‘risked undermining public confidence in his impartiality and had reputational implications for the magistracy’. It added: ‘The declaration and undertaking signed by all magistrates on their appointment states that they will maintain the good reputation of the magistracy at all times, in their private, working, and public lives. ‘Social media guidance for the judiciary cautions against expressing or appearing to endorse views that could cast doubt on an office-holder’s objectivity or impartiality. This includes engaging with controversial content, including by liking, sharing, or commenting on posts that relate to political, legal, or socially divisive issues.’ Mr Justice Keehan, on behalf of the lady chief

Halsey came to prominence on Tumblr — this much is true for most everyone who knew them before their feature on the Chainsmokers' "Closer," at least. None of those people (myself included) would argue otherwise, having probably reblogged a post with the lyrics to "Colors" on it at some point in our tenure as extremely online teenagers. The singer-songwriter born Ashley Frangipane celebrated the 10th anniversary of their debut album Badlands — the aesthetic of which ruled many corners of Tumblr during its release year of 2015 — on tour in January and February, but it looks like the micro-blogging platform isn't capitalizing on the milestone as it celebrates one of its own: 19 years since the site launched. Tumblr posted a video compilation (led by the oft-memed photo of five teens dressed in 2010s American Apparel regalia and Doc Martens) on social media, celebrating its 19th anniversary. Halsey retweeted the post on the platform formerly known as Twitter yesterday (March 1), adding, "I keep your lights on for years and this is the thanks I get?" Yes, Halsey was egregiously omitted from the soft grunge photo and GIF compilation, which featured their peers like the 1975, Charli xcx, Lorde

Yuliya Taba / Getty By David DiMolfetta Cybersecurity Reporter, Nextgov/FCW March 2, 2026 09:22 AM ET Infowar Iran Cyber A purported U.S. Cyber Command memo claiming that multiple apps were “compromised” and could be revealing servicemembers’ locations is fake, a DOD official confirmed to Defense One.  “The command did not issue messages to U.S. service members to turn off location services on their electronic devices and did not issue messages that applications had been compromised,” the official wrote. “Due to operational security concerns, U.S. Cyber Command does not comment nor discuss cyber intelligence, plans, operations, capabilities or effects.” The fake message claimed that Uber, Snapchat, and Talabat —a Middle East grocery service— were compromised and could reveal the location of service members. Some versions circulated also appear to say that locations of service members within the continental U.S. were also compromised.  Uber late Sunday said there were no indications of compromise. A Snapchat spokesperson echoed that sentiment. Talabat did not return a request for comment by publishing time.  The message began circulating in military service member chats, social media groups on Sunday evening, one day after the United States and Israel began attacking Iran. It was also shared in non-public

Facebook was not really close to being the first name in the social media game, with SixDegrees, MySpace, Friendster, and a long list of now defunct sites exploring the idea of creating platforms to connect people online before Mark Zuckerberg’s company. However, it was Facebook, despite arriving somewhat late to the party, that won out in the end, iterating on the idea and focusing on college campuses like the one where its 19-year-old creator found himself at the time. The Meta CEO hasn’t really been shy to borrow, or simply buy, good ideas ever since. When Instagram was blowing up, Zuck and co. saw a potential threat to Facebook, eventually buying the app that had just 13 employees for $1 billion. When Snapchat’s “stories” concept proved wildly popular, it wasn’t long before Instagram had the same feature... with the same name. More recently, after Elon Musk relaunched Twitter as X, Meta was quick to push out Threads, its text-based alternative. Back when a new challenge emerged from the then Chinese-owned TikTok, Instagram replied with Reels, its own vertical feed
