News Gregory Mc Burnie 7 Hrs Ago Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro - Police killed two men and injured another while carrying out a sting operation to catch bandits suspected of using fake Facebook ads to rob people. In a media release on January 16, the TT Police Service (TTPS) said officers attached to the North Central Division, in collaboration with a specialist unit, conducted an intelligence-based, covert sting operation along Mt Hope Road, St Joseph. Acting on information regarding a Facebook Marketplace arrangement to purchase a vehicle, officers posed as prospective buyers and went to the proposed meeting site. When they arrived at the location to carry out the transaction, four men approached them and announced a robbery. Police say the bandits, when confronted, shot at them and they returned fire. Three of the suspects were shot while one escaped. One of the injured bandits was arrested at the scene while the other two were taken to the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex where they were declared dead on arrival.  » Read More

A man in Memphis, Tennessee, has been arrested after he was accused of raping and kidnapping a 13-year-old girl that he met on Snapchat during an incident on Christmas Eve 2025. Breon Collins was arrested on Wednesday, January 14, and was charged with especially aggravated kidnapping, aggravated rape, evading arrest in an automobile and evading arrest, according to statement from the Memphis Police Department. Arrest records state that Memphis Police Department officers responded to a home in East Memphis on December 24, 2025, after receiving reports of a “suspicious vehicle,” according to Fox 13 Memphis. Upon their arrival, officers found two people unclothed in a car on North Fernway Road. The man was identified as Collins, 32, and it was quickly discovered that he had an outstanding warrant. After police asked for the girl’s information, Collins said that “they didn’t need her information,” per the affidavit. Collins was then ordered to get out of the car, though he drove off with the girl still in the vehicle. The girl was later found by investigators, and she told them that she had been messaging with someone she believed to be a juvenile on Snapchat. She went on to tell the officers

In theory, I use social media solely to promote my work. In practice, I check it addictively. Even knowing it is a time-sink, I sit and scroll through aspirational interiors, influencers with filtered-to-perfection skin and occasionally interesting posts from people I like. I have ceded many hours, probably days, to these platforms that give so little and take so much. 2025 was a tough year in my life, and I used my phone as respite from the hard things happening around me. I half-read news articles and flicked between apps. When I had to put my phone down, I listened to podcasts in the shower and audiobooks while going to sleep. It’s no great revelation that smartphones pull us away from our immediate surroundings and the people closest to us, rendering us, as the American sociologist Sherry Turkle puts it, “forever elsewhere”.

These are heavy condemnations from big thinkers. But when life is hard, a portable experience-blocker that can

WhatsApp New Feature In 2026: Meta-owned platform WhatsApp is always adding new features to make chatting more interesting. Now, imagine opening a chat and seeing not only a profile picture but also a cover photo that shows more about the person. Just like Facebook and LinkedIn, WhatsApp is working on a new profile feature, according to a post by feature tracker WABetaInfo. This feature may allow users to add a cover photo to their profile. If introduced, it could help people express themselves better and make profiles more personal and engaging. As we all know, profile pictures and cover photos play an important role in personalising social networking accounts. Until now, cover photos were limited to WhatsApp Business accounts. However, the instant messaging platform now appears to be working on bringing this feature to all users, allowing everyone to customise their profiles in a more expressive way. According to reports, the feature is under development for both iOS and Android versions of the app and remains in the testing stage. (Also Read: YouTube Earnings In India: How Much Creators Earn Per 1,000 Views, Top Creator Secrets, And Monetization Rules Revealed) Add Zee News as a Preferred Source WhatsApp Profile Cover Photo: What

SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — Some parents with students in the Springfield Public Schools (SPS) district are in an uproar over Facebook posts and comments from a Maple Elementary school teacher, some of which express anti-Muslim, ableist, and even genocidal rhetoric. We spoke to a few of those parents on Friday along with district officials about what they want to see happen. Cheyanne, who agreed to speak with us on the condition of not showing her face or sharing her last name, and whose children attend the elementary school, came across kindergarten teacher Neil Baird's Facebook page after he commented on an SPS post regarding Monday's board meeting. She says when looking at Baird's profile, she came across many Facebook posts that concerned her. "I saw him making comments about students on IEPs ,” Cheyanne told us. “That made me see red. I have a son that's autistic, and I knew before I hit that point that the school needed to be aware of these posts." One post that has since been deleted but was public Thursday,  » Read More

Lo-fi selfies, throwback filters, and Tumblr-era ease are suddenly everywhere... and even the stars are in on it. If you’ve been on the internet recently, you’ve surely been greeted by diagonally shot mirror selfies with a quirky pose in frame. What feels like time-travel is just global ubiquity for 2016-esque photography. We’ve seen the nostalgia for Y2K pick up over the last decade, but the full-blown recall of 2016 might be nodding to a different realm of trend fatigue altogether. In an era defined by relentless trend cycles and algorithmic pressure, nostalgia functions as a counterpoint: a softer emotional register in an otherwise overstimulated present. And even celebrities agree. The Throwback Posts That Say Everything When a year as chaotic as 2025 passed by, with users globally echoing the same sentiment, something is refreshing about the way 2026 is unfolding so far, with less self-seriousness and hope for a fun year ahead. Across social media, creators and celebrities alike are loosening their grip on perfection. Charlie Puth leaned fully into the bit, posting a 2016-era throwback where he’s holding a thick stack of dollar bills to his ear like a phone—peak mid-2010s internet humour. The caption doubled down on the nostalgia, reading:

A judge approved Google’s $30 million settlement to families over accusations it invaded kids’ privacy on YouTube – and people eligible to benefit from the class-action suit need to file by Jan. 21 to claim their award. US Magistrate Judge Susan van Keulen on Tuesday gave the final stamp of approval to the settlement, ending a six-year legal battle in which parents claimed Google violated children’s privacy by collecting data while they watched YouTube videos. The 2019 lawsuit alleged YouTube “baited” kids into watching cartoons and nursery rhymes, collected their data without parental consent and then profited from that data as they used it to better advertise to minors. A judge approved Google’s $30 million settlement to families over accusations it invaded kids’ privacy on YouTube. AlexPhotoStock – stock.adobe.com Google, which owns YouTube, did not admit to any wrongdoing in the settlement. The company did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment. The class of people entitled to settlement payments includes all people in the US who were under 13 and watched content “allegedly directed to children on YouTube” between July 1, 2013, and April 1, 2020, according to the ruling. To receive a settlement payment, class members
