A Jewish reporter who has previously contributed to the BBC says he will no longer work with the news service over its refusal to label the Palestinian extremist group Hamas as “terrorists.”

“A personal announcement from me: I will no longer work for or represent the BBC,” Abrahams posted on X, previously known as Twitter.

When reached for comment, the BBC disputed media reports characterizing Abrahams’ departure from the service as a resignation.

Costco Accused Of Sharing Customers Health Data With Meta https://brevmag.com/costco-accused-of-sharing-customers-health-data-with-meta/ https://brevmag.com/costco-accused-of-sharing-customers-health-data-with-meta/#respond Wed, 11 Oct 2023 20:08:55 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=50368 Costco is facing a lawsuit in a Seattle federal court, which alleges that the company provided customer information to Meta (formerly known as Facebook) without obtaining customer consent. This alleged sharing of private data occurred through the installation of Meta’s analytical tool, Meta Pixel, on Costco’s website.

Meta Pixel is a technology that tracks website visitors and their activities. It provides businesses with insights into the effectiveness of their advertising efforts. In this case, the lawsuit claims that Costco used Meta Pixel in its healthcare section, where customers can order or refill prescriptions. This has raised questions about why this technology would be used in a healthcare context.

The lawsuit contends that through Meta Pixel, Meta gained access to customers’ prescription data, treatment information, health insurance details, and location information. As the story develops we will keep you updated.

Man Allegedly Ties Up & Robs Airbnb Host After Renting Basement https://brevmag.com/man-allegedly-ties-up-robs-airbnb-host-after-renting-basement/ https://brevmag.com/man-allegedly-ties-up-robs-airbnb-host-after-renting-basement/#respond Tue, 03 Oct 2023 16:34:52 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=43209 A man in Georgia is being sought by authorities after allegedly using Airbnb to rent a basement space and then robbing and restraining the homeowner.

According to an initial news release from the Gwinnett County Police, they are seeking the public’s assistance in locating 26-year-old Khalil Hamilton, a suspect in an armed robbery case. On the evening of September 26, Hamilton purportedly rented a basement room in a Buford residence through Airbnb. Following the rental, he allegedly sent a text message to the homeowner, claiming there was a need for a bathroom repair.

During the alleged robbery incident, the homeowner stated that his wife and child were present in the house, but they were not harmed and were left unattended. A police report mentioned that the suspect had used the pretext of a “leaky toilet” as the reason for the purported “bathroom repair” mentioned in his initial text message. This ruse was seemingly employed as a means to gain access to the residence and subsequently carry out the robbery.

Suge Knight Will Not Testify Against Keffe D In 2Pac Murder Case https://brevmag.com/suge-knight-will-not-testify-against-keffe-d-in-2pac-murder-case/ https://brevmag.com/suge-knight-will-not-testify-against-keffe-d-in-2pac-murder-case/#respond Mon, 02 Oct 2023 16:23:12 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=40750 Suge Knight has stated that he will not testify against Duane “Keffe D” Davis, who was recently arrested and charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon in connection to the 1996 fatal shooting of Tupac Shakur.

In an interview with TMZ founder Harvey Levin, Suge Knight expressed his surprise at Davis’ arrest and added that he never thought this day would come. However, he also mentioned that he didn’t want to see it happen. Suge elaborated on his history with Davis, explaining that they had played football together and, despite their differences, he wouldn’t wish incarceration on his worst enemy. When asked about the rumored involvement of Davis’ late nephew, Orlando Anderson, Suge brought up the fact that he and Tupac were the only individuals in the car when the shooting occurred, and neither of them was willing to divulge details about that fateful night.

“I never had nothing bad to say about Orlando because he wasn’t the shooter,” Knight added

In response to a possible scenario presented by Harvey Levin, suggesting that Keffe D may have been aware of Orlando Anderson’s revenge plot after being assaulted by Tupac and his associates, Suge Knight firmly rejected the theory with a resounding “no.” Suge appears to be unwavering in his stance, stating, “One thousand percent. I wouldn’t go. I wouldn’t testify. None of that shit.”

As reported by TMZ, Suge Knight and Keffe D are the only two individuals still alive who were involved in the incident related to Tupac Shakur’s murder in 1996.

Models Were Discovered Dead In L.A. Apartments 2 Days Apart https://brevmag.com/models-were-discovered-dead-in-l-a-apartments-2-days-apart/ https://brevmag.com/models-were-discovered-dead-in-l-a-apartments-2-days-apart/#respond Tue, 19 Sep 2023 15:15:29 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=37455 In a tragic and unsettling series of events, two models were found deceased in their upscale apartments in downtown Los Angeles, just days apart. According to The Los Angeles Times, the body of 32-year-old Nichole “Nikki” Coats was discovered in her apartment on September 10th. Two days later, on September 12th, the lifeless body of 31-year-old Maleesa Mooney was found in her own apartment. The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed that Mooney’s death is being treated as a homicide, while Coats’ death is not currently classified as such.

Although authorities have not disclosed any presumed connection between the two deaths, Coats’ family believes that she, too, may have been a victim of foul play. The investigations into these tragic incidents are ongoing.

Coats’ family has established a GoFundMe campaign to assist with funeral expenses. The campaign has already exceeded its initial goal of $10,000, with $15,235 raised from 208 donors. This support reflects the concern and sympathy of the community for Coats and her grieving family.

Man Arrested For Stealing Neighbor’s Front Porch In Georgia https://brevmag.com/man-arrested-for-stealing-neighbors-front-porch-in-georgia/ https://brevmag.com/man-arrested-for-stealing-neighbors-front-porch-in-georgia/#respond Wed, 23 Aug 2023 18:38:37 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=28025 In a rather unusual incident, a man in Arnco, Georgia, has been arrested and is facing a felony charge for allegedly stealing an entire porch. According to a report from WAGA-TV, the accused porch thief, identified as Robin Swanger, reportedly ignored multiple “no trespassing” signs when he entered his neighbor’s property and removed a wooden porch. The investigator from the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office described the stolen item as a “full 8′ by 10′ porch.”

Despite the appearance of the property as abandoned, it was indeed not, and the owner had posted the “no trespassing” signs in an effort to deter people from entering.

Complex has reached out to the Coweta County Sheriff’s Office for further information, and this story may be updated. In addition to the felony charge related to the porch theft, Swanger also faces two domestic violence-related charges.

Nurse Found Guilty Of Murdering 7 Babies At Hospital https://brevmag.com/nurse-found-guilty-of-murdering-7-babies-at-hospital/ https://brevmag.com/nurse-found-guilty-of-murdering-7-babies-at-hospital/#respond Mon, 21 Aug 2023 20:10:10 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=27248 A nurse has received a life sentence with no possibility of parole after being convicted of the murder of seven babies at a hospital in Chester, England.

Lucy Letby, 33 years old, was sentenced on Monday to a “whole life order,” a sentencing type reserved for the most severe murder cases. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) stated that Letby, who was found guilty last week on seven counts of murder and seven counts of attempted murder, employed various methods in the neonatal ward killings that occurred in 2015 and 2016.

“In her hands, innocuous substances like air, milk, fluids—or medication like insulin—would become lethal,” Pascale Jones, a reviewing lawyer for CPS, said on Friday when announcing Letby’s conviction. “She perverted her learning and weaponized her craft to inflict harm, grief, and death. Time and again, she harmed babies, in an environment which should have been safe for them and their families.”

The prosecution’s case was significantly strengthened by medical records, notably the identification of what prosecutors claimed were “falsified notes” crafted by Lucy Letby in an attempt to conceal her actions. Furthermore, prosecutors highlighted the presence of a diary and handwritten notes authored by Letby, one of which contained the chilling statement: “I am evil, I did this.” These pieces of evidence played a crucial role in building the case against in indicting her.

Lil Tay Is Alive: Hackers Behind Hoax https://brevmag.com/lil-tay-is-alive-hackers-behind-hoax/ https://brevmag.com/lil-tay-is-alive-hackers-behind-hoax/#respond Sat, 12 Aug 2023 19:59:53 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=27244 Lil Tay, the young social media sensation, had a distressing and peculiar week but managed to regain control of her account. According to TMZ, a spokesperson for Meta, the company that owns and operates Instagram, along with Facebook and WhatsApp, confirmed that they assisted in recovering Tay’s hacked account.

Earlier in the week, a hacker posted a false statement, now deleted, announcing the supposed deaths of Tay, aged 14, and her brother Jason Tian, aged 21, to her 3.6 million Instagram followers. This post quickly spread across news headlines and prompted condolences from sympathizers in the comments.

On Thursday, August 10, a statement attributed to Tay clarified that she and her brother were, in fact, alive. She expressed her trauma, stating, “It’s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones, all while trying to sort out this mess,” as reported by TMZ.

Lil Tay’s presence on social media has consistently stirred controversy over the years. The self-proclaimed “youngest flexer” gained widespread attention through a calculated and sometimes tumultuous social media approach. She garnered virality by producing content featuring large sums of money and showcasing luxurious cars, which captured the online audience’s attention and even led to her being featured on Good Morning America.

Kai Cenat States He’s ‘Disappointed’ In Fans For What Happened In NYC Appearance https://brevmag.com/kai-cenat-states-hes-disappointed-in-fans-for-what-happened-in-nyc-appearance/ https://brevmag.com/kai-cenat-states-hes-disappointed-in-fans-for-what-happened-in-nyc-appearance/#respond Thu, 10 Aug 2023 13:27:10 +0000 https://brevmag.com/?p=27070 Kai Cenat has addressed the chaotic incident that occurred during his New York City giveaway event, which resulted in his arrest. The Twitch streamer shared his thoughts during a livestream, expressing his astonishment and disappointment at how the situation unfolded. He mentioned that being from New York, he had a strong desire to give back to the community that played a significant role in his journey. Despite his intentions, Cenat acknowledged his disappointment over the events that transpired during the giveaway event.

The giveaway event organized by Cenat drew a massive crowd that led to a chaotic situation. Although such an event would usually require permits and coordination with law enforcement, the announcement caused a significant turnout of thousands of people. The situation escalated into a riot, prompting the NYPD to activate a “Level 4” response and deploy approximately 1,000 officers to manage the crowd and restore order. The unexpected scale of the gathering and the resulting chaos were major factors in the incident.

Kai Cenat was arrested following the chaotic events of the New York City giveaway and is now facing charges of inciting a riot and unlawful assembly. After his arrest, he was released from custody. In a subsequent Twitch stream, Cenat mentioned that he plans to take some time to relax due to his legal situation. His initial court appearance is scheduled for August 16, where further developments in his case will likely take place.
