As Russia's war in Ukraine continues, the information war is picking up online.Fake news, photoshopped posts, manipulated media, and all sorts of propaganda and misinformation is being disseminated by both bad actors and those being duped by them. So, what are the big tech companies doing to help stop bad information from spreading?Mashable reached out to several major social media platforms in order to get a comprehensive look at what exactly is being done to stop misinformation as Russian forces continue to advance in Ukraine.MetaFacebook and Instagram are certainly no strangers to disinformation campaigns stemming from Russia. So has Mark Zuckerberg learned from the attempts to sway elections? What is Meta doing this time around?On Facebook and Instagram, some major steps have been taken to clamp down on falsehoods being spread. Meta has blocked Russian state-run media, such as Russia Today and Sputnik, in the EU and in Ukraine. The company has also cut its revenue share with these outlets so they can't monetize their content in areas where they haven't yet been banned.

I know we’re into March now, but it’s not too late to tell a New Years story, right? I mean I’m still mentally in last September. I decided to be spontaneous for New Years and buy tickets to visit family in South Carolina. Fly out Saturday morning, fly back Sunday evening, whirlwind trip. Maybe not my smartest move, and it was definitely dicey at times with delays and weather. But, it all worked out and was fantabulous time. The real fun, however, started the night before. Picture it, New Years Eve, 2021. There’s no streamers, noise makers, funny party hats or popping champagne bottles in this story. The night before my very early flight, I had driven up to Indy, got checked in virtually for my flight, all was well. I was chatting with a friend on Snapchat, sitting on the couch and watching TV. And then it happened. My phone glitched unlike anything I have seen happen before. 25 percent. At first, I couldn’t do the usual swipe-up function to change apps. I was stuck in Snapchat land. Sure, there are worse places to be stuck in a phone, but still. When I tried to lock it, it was…

A picture posted on Fanci Freez's Facebook page shows two women posing with the stolen sign. BOISE, Idaho — Fanci Freez is asking for the public's help in identifying two women who allegedly stole the shop's sign two weeks ago. The downtown, State Street location reported the missing, $400 sign to the Boise Police Department (BPD), and then on the restaurant's Facebook page with a photo of the alleged thieves. Fanci Freez staff immediately noticed the sign's disappearance on Saturday, Feb. 19. It was nearly a week after the sign went missing that staff received the Snapchat picture, which prompted them to call BPD, according to Fanci Freez staff. The photo, which was shared anonymously, shows the missing sign next to two unidentified women, with the caption "moms gone wild". Staff say it's been difficult tracking down the source of the photo, as it had already been shared multiple times before a staff member saw it and showed a manager. Ok Thelma and Louise - it's hard enough to run a restaurant without you two stealing our sign. We need that back. No questions asked. It's not funny.Posted by Fanci Freez on Wednesday, March 2, 2022 Nate Kenyon, a manager at…

Ian Pisarchuk, 26, of Bensalem Township, pleaded guilty before President Judge Wallace Bateman Tuesday at the Bucks County Justice Center to 67 counts enticing a minor to produce child pornography, possession of child pornography, unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors, sexual extortion, stalking, terroristic threats, harassment, and cyber harassment of a child, according to the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office.
