Instagram may be a social media giant, but more people in the U.S. seem ready to walk away from it than any other platform. A new analysis of Google search trends shows that users are searching in droves for ways to delete or deactivate their Instagram accounts, putting it at the top of the list of platforms Americans most want to leave behind. Between April 2024 and March 2025, there were more than 545,000 average monthly searches nationwide for terms related to quitting Instagram. That includes phrases like “delete Instagram account,” “how to deactivate Instagram,” and “Instagram addiction.” Facebook came in a close second, with just over 538,000 monthly searches, while other platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Snapchat, and Telegram trailed far behind. The findings come from a study conducted by health and recovery publisher Recovered, which analyzed search behavior across all 50 states using Google Keyword Planner. The goal was to figure out not just which apps people were tired of, but also where in the country users were most likely to look for an exit from social media altogether. To level the playing field between high- and low-population states, the researchers adjusted the data to reflect search volume

Three teenage friends died in a horror crash after a 'naïve, young and inexperienced' driver lost control of his Audi the day after passing his test, an inquest heard today. Jenson Bridges, 17, smashed into a tree while driving his Audi A1 hatchback at 'excessive speed' – seconds after reassuring one of his four passengers 'I know these lanes, mate'. Jenson, who was head boy at his school died alongside Taekwondo world champion Simon Evans, 18, and restaurant worker Jacob Holeman, 17. The fourth occupant of the car, George Taylor, 17, suffered life-changing injuries but survived the smash on a lane at Tong, near Shifnal, Shropshire. The inquest also heard that a 20-second Snapchat video was taken by Simon Evans just seconds before the crash, late on March 14. In the video, the sound of Jenson Bridges wheel-spinning his car was heard as he took off along Offoxey Road. Later in the video, a voice was heard to say 'slow down', followed by the reply 'Simon, I know these lanes, mate'. An inquest heard Jenson had passed his driving test just the day before the crash and the group met up with eight other friends to 'go for a drive.'

Apple claims that one of its former employees stole highly sensitive data about the Apple Vision Pro, leading to details emerging before the virtual glasses were even released. The phone giant has filed a lawsuit against engineer Di Liu in Santa Clara County Superior Court, alleging that the former engineer stole important Vision Pro trade secrets to develop the glasses for Snap Inc. The Silicon Valley company is seeking damages. Di Liu worked at Apple on the development of the Apple Vision Pro Liu worked at Apple for no less than seven years, rising to become a senior product design engineer. He even worked on the development of the Apple Vision Pro, which is why he is accused of stealing valuable data and passing it on to Snap, Snapchat’s parent company. “Soon begin work at Snap in a product design role substantially similar to the one he held at Apple” When Liu resigned, he withheld from Apple a job offer from Snap he had made two weeks earlier, which meant he would “soon begin work at Snap in a product design role substantially similar to the one he held at Apple,” according to the lawsuit, which continues: “Because Mr. Liu

Josh is lying on a footpath, curled up into a ball, his head covered with his hands as three men lay into him with metal bars. "Am I going to make it out of here alive?" he remembered thinking. "What's going to happen?" He managed to get up but stumbled a few times after receiving blows to his head. The men were laughing at him. One of them was filming. "They were calling me a paedophile," Josh, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, told 7.30. Josh was so badly beaten he almost ended up in intensive care. "Apparently I had lost so much blood that my blood pressure had dropped so low they were considering taking me to ICU." It was spring 2024 in Melbourne's bayside suburbs. Josh's Saturday night had turned into the early hours of Sunday morning. Like many men on the hook-up app Grindr, he'd been "looking". Grindr is one of the apps being used because users can be relatively anonymous. (Adobe Stock) Josh, now in his 30s, has used Grindr since he was 18. He started chatting to a user whose profile had three face pics, unlike the others, and "filled out" details.

The family just got bigger. On the July 4th episode of WWE SmackDown, Solo Sikoa made it official—Tala Tonga is now part of his MFT, which stands for My Family Tree. The announcement came just weeks after Tala’s main roster debut at WWE Night of Champions, where he attacked Jacob Fatu and helped Solo capture the United States Championship. Tala, formerly known as Hikuleo in NJPW, made an immediate impact when he showed up at Night of Champions, making it clear that his loyalty lies with Solo Sikoa and not the wider Anoa’i family drama. The same night Tala made his debut, his brother Tonga Loa also returned from injury, marking his first appearance since WWE Survivor Series 2024. With Tala Tonga now officially part of MFT, the group includes Solo Sikoa, Tonga Loa, JC Mateo, and Tama Tonga, who remains out with an injury. The faction continues to grow as Solo builds his own version of family dominance on SmackDown, separate from Roman Reigns and The Bloodline. Love them or hate them, the MFT isn’t going anywhere—and with Solo pulling the strings, it’s only getting more dangerous. What do you think of Tala Tonga officially joining Solo’s crew? Please

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - Inside an Alachua County courtroom, an emotional Joel Searby was seen mouthing ‘I love you’ to his family moments after he received a 10-year prison sentence on child sex crimes charges. The victim was a 15-year-old boy who received dozens of sex-related Snapchat messages from Searby last year. “This progressed through the night and into the next day,” said Jay Blankenfeld, the victim’s father. Blankenfeld wanted to publicly share details of his son’s case to warn parents of the dangers of social media and the messages children receive from others. In Searby’s case, the victim was his neighbor. “The stuff he said he was planning to do to my son, I can’t read them all,” Blankenfeld told TV20. Searby’s nine-page arrest report details the conversation Searby had with the teen, some too explicit to show. Blankenfeld remembers pulling into his driveway, a few houses down from Searby, after getting the call from his wife about the nature of the messages. “I drove past their house before pulling into our driveway, and I looked over and his Suburban was sitting there, and I walked into the house, and my son received a picture from him, and he

California  + Bay Area  |  July 3, 2025 Snap Inc., the owner of multimedia messaging app Snapchat, is slated to fully occupy a 156,000-square-foot office building at 223 Mathilda Ave. in Sunnyvale that previously housed biotechnology company 23andMe, reported the Silicon Valley Business Journal. The lease agreement with landlord Spear Street Capital will take effect later this year, the Business Journal reported , citing CoStar News. Last month, Spear Street repurchased the property from San Francisco-based Stockbridge Capital Group for $87.75 million, paying nearly $100 million less than it sold the property for in 2019, the Business Journal reported. 23andMe leased the building in 2019, but got little use out of it after the COVID-19 pandemic left conventional work life in disarray, largely putting 223 Mathilda Ave. in a state of limbo. The personal genomics company subleased 17,000 square feet to cloud-computing startup CoreWeave in 2024, just six months before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Photo courtesy of The Smith Group.
