The Retail Impact

18K Killed in Workplace Violence From 1992 to 2019
Federal Agencies Release Joint Study on Workplace Violence
WASHINGTON - JULY 21, 2022 — Today, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) released indicators of Workplace Violence, 2019, which provides findings on fatal and nonfatal crimes that occurred in the workplace or away from work but over work-related issues. Findings are presented for 13 indicators of workplace violence, using data from five federal data collections.

The study found that, over a 27-year period from 1992 to 2019, nearly 18,000 persons were killed at work, on duty, or in violence that was work-related, using data from BLS’s Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. Homicides in the workplace peaked at 1,080 homicides in 1994 and dropped to 454 in 2019, a decline of 58%. During a more recent period from 2014 (409 homicides) to 2019, workplace homicides increased 11%.

According to the study, an annual average of 1.3 million nonfatal workplace violent victimizations occurred during the combined 5 years from 2015 to 2019, based on data from BJS’s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Violent victimizations include rape or sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault and simple assault. This was a rate of 8.0 nonfatal violent crimes per 1,000 workers age 16 or older. Persons in corrections occupations had the highest average annual rate of nonfatal workplace violence at 149.1 per 1,000 workers among all occupations measured.

In other findings based on the NCVS, strangers committed about half (47%) of nonfatal workplace violence during 2015–19, with male victims less likely than female victims to know the offender. The offender was unarmed in 78% of nonfatal workplace violence, and the victim sustained an injury in 12%. Fifteen percent of victims of nonfatal workplace violence reported severe emotional distress due to the crime.

The joint study also stated that about 529,000 nonfatal injuries from workplace violence were
treated in hospital emergency departments (EDs) for the combined 2015-19 period, based on data from NIOSH’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-Occupational Supplement. This was a rate of 7.1 ED-treated injuries per 10,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers. Physical assaults (hitting, kicking or beating) accounted for 83% of such injuries, which were most often contusions and abrasions (33%), followed by sprains and strains (12%) and traumatic brain injuries (12%). ED-treated injuries were more common among younger victims than older victims.

Historic First: Biden's Crime Plan Includes "Tackle Organized Retail Theft"
Retailers Back White House Plan to Tackle Organized Theft with More Transparency on Amazon

Biden's crime plan calls for more transparency on Amazon

Washington, DC - Retailers welcomed a provision in President Biden’s crime plan that would require Amazon and other online marketplaces to verify the information of third-party sellers on their platform.

“To tackle organized retail theft, the plan calls on Congress to pass legislation to require online marketplaces, like Amazon, to verify third-party sellers’ information…”
- Fact Sheet: Biden Safer American Plan

Statement from Retail Industry Leaders Association, Senior Executive Vice President for Public Affairs Michael Hanson:

“We appreciate President Biden including marketplace transparency in his crime plan. The anonymity provided by Amazon and other marketplaces makes it too easy to sell counterfeit and stolen products from behind screen names and bogus business accounts, and it has led to a dramatic increase in theft at local retailers across the country. Law enforcement at the federal, state and local level have all confirmed this troubling trend. Beyond monetary losses, these crimes have led to a significant uptick in attacks on employees in stores. Earlier this year Homeland Security Investigations released a study connecting the financial proceeds of organized retail crime to the funding of more dangerous and violent crimes involving gun smuggling, drugs, and human trafficking.

“The INFORM consumers Act would direct online marketplaces to verify high-volume third-party sellers by acquiring the seller’s government ID, tax ID, bank account information, and contact information. If enacted, it would also ensure that consumers can verify basic identification and contact information for when shopping on Amazon and other marketplaces. The rise in organized retail crime has been dramatic and it is time legislation is enacted to help stop these criminals from harming communities and families.”

“Basic transparency can make a difference. Making it harder to sell illicit goods from the shadows will help consumers avoid unscrupulous sellers, and aid investigators and prosecutors as they crack down on criminal networks in our communities. Congress had an opportunity to pass INFORM this summer, but failed to include it in a recent legislative package headed to the President’s desk. We urge Congress to pass the INFORM Consumers Act this year, and send this common-sense legislation to protect retail workers and consumers to the President’s desk.” rila.org

Biden's $37B Crime Plan - 100K New Police Officers
White House Unveils $37 Billion Crime Prevention Plan
U.S. President Joe Biden is due to speak Thursday about a $37 billion proposal to combat and prevent crime. The White House released some details of the plan ahead of Biden’s scheduled address at an event in the state of Pennsylvania.

It includes nearly $13 billion to help communities hire and train 100,000 police officers during the next five years. Another $3 billion would go toward addressing court backlogs, solving murders and setting up local task forces to reduce the rate of gun violence.

The White House said Biden’s proposal would boost penalties for trafficking fentanyl and ask Congress to enact legislation making online marketplaces liable if they sell stolen goods.

The plan also includes $15 billion for cities and states to put into place efforts to prevent violent crime and to identify situations in which public health agencies should respond to non-violent situations instead of police.

Another portion would focus on services for mental health and substance abuse, as well as social work and giving more people access to job training, education and housing. voanews.com

San Francisco's New 'Sprawling Surveillance Program'
Crime-Obsessed San Francisco Flirts With ‘Police State’ Crackdown
Under the latest policy proposed by a newly emboldened police department—and backed by Mayor London Breed and the new DA’s office—cops would be able to watch residents in real time during a “significant event with public safety concerns,” and as part of “investigations” relating to both “active misdemeanors” as well as felonies.

The cameras available for access would include those with a variety of both low- and high-level capabilities. Everything from commercial to private doorbell cameras could ultimately be employed to keep tabs on possible crimes.

“The mayor now controls the DA, and I think people should be very alarmed and be very, very wary of where their civil liberties are going, because they're trying to take us back to a police state where constitutional rights are trampled and police misconduct is overlooked,” former San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Arcelia Hurtado told The Daily Beast.

In a post on Medium, Breed—who appointed Jenkins—praised the proposed policy as a chance to “prevent mistakes” and also curb the “chaos” of “organized drug dealing” and “robberies”.

“The police right now are barred from accessing or monitoring live video unless there are ‘exigent circumstances,’ which are defined as events that involve an imminent danger of serious physical injury or death. If this high standard is not met, the police can’t use live video feed, leaving our neighborhoods and retailers vulnerable,” Breed wrote.

In 2019, the city passed a historic measure requiring the police to seek permission from the Board of Supervisors to use any kind of new surveillance technology—and banned the use of facial recognition.

On Monday, Police Chief William Scott told city supervisors, who must approve the camera measure for it to go into effect, that live surveillance could help them watch drug dealing from afar instead of needing to put boots on the ground. yahoo.com

Americans Have Moved on from COVID as Cases Surge
U.S. COVID Cases Surge Amid Lax Public Health Measures
Here in the United States, COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths are continuing to rise. Officially, the U.S. is recording about 125,000 new cases each day, but public health officials warn that’s only a small fraction of the true number of infections — with most positive at-home tests going unreported.

The latest surge is being driven by the fast-spreading BA.5 Omicron subvariant, which is adept at reinfecting people who’ve recovered from a previous bout of COVID. The surge also comes as much of the U.S. has abandoned public health measures like physical distancing and masking in public.

Meanwhile, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, said Monday he will retire by the end of President Biden’s first term in office. Fauci is 81 and recently recovered from COVID-19. democracynow.org

$20M Mall Security Lawsuit
Mall, security company sued for $20M over negligence in April shooting
Two women wounded in the Easter weekend shooting at Columbiana Centre have sued the mall’s parent company and its security firm for $20 million.

The eight-page lawsuit filed in federal court in South Carolina accuses Brookfield Properties and security firm Andy Frain Services of negligence and recklessness.

This is the first lawsuit filed in response to the April 16 shooting, when 15 people, who ranged in age from 15 to 73, were injured. No one died in the shooting. Three people have been charged in the shooting, which resulted from a yearslong conflict among the alleged shooters, law enforcement investigators have said.

They came to the mall for an Easter celebration when the shooting occurred in the area of the food court. The two were shot, and the lawsuit claims that only one retail associate from one of the mall’s tenants offered immediate care.

“The resulting chaos caused by the shooting created even more fear and trauma for the plaintiffs,” Sheheen wrote in the lawsuit. “(The) plaintiffs have suffered severe and life altering injuries both physical and mental.” The lawsuit says the Columbia Police Department has more than 100 incident reports on file regarding assaults, robberies and other violent crimes at or around the mall in the last five years.

Because of those previous incidents, local police advised the mall to increase its security presence prior to the shooting, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit alleges the mall and security company failed to provide adequate security, didn’t properly train employees and didn’t provide proper screening measures at the mall entrances. The mall added enhanced security measures after the shooting, which included a greater police presence and a K-9 trained to sniff out firearms. thestate.com

Retail's Newest Trend: Going Small
Macy’s speeds up plans to open smaller stores outside of malls

Macy’s is speeding up its plans to open smaller stores that aren’t attached to suburban shopping malls

Macy’s is accelerating its plans to open smaller stores that aren’t attached to suburban shopping malls, in a bid to evolve along with its customers’ shopping preferences coming out of the Covid pandemic.

The department store chain said Wednesday that it will open three stores this fall that each represent ways Macy’s is thinking about how it aims to reposition its real estate in the future.

In February 2020, the company said it planned to shutter 125 stores in lower-tier malls within three years and would explore formats outside of malls. Since then, Macy’s has opened five stores under the Market by Macy’s banner, which are about one-fifth of the size of its full-line locations and tout services such as buy online, pick up in store. It will reach eight by the end of this year.

Going small and getting away from the mall has become somewhat of a trend in the retail industry. It’s a blueprint that retailers from Gap to Nordstrom have been following. Kohl’s also said it’s aiming to open 100 smaller-footprint locations over the next four years. Macy’s last year opened its first pint-sized Bloomingdale’s shop, called Bloomie’s. cnbc.com

Union-Busting Closure?
Chipotle permanently shutters store that filed to unionize
Chipotle permanently closed a restaurant in Augusta, Maine that filed to form a union last month. "We have been unable to adequately staff this remote restaurant with crew and continue to be plagued with excessive call-outs and lack of availability from existing staff," Laurie Schalow, chief corporate affairs officer at Chipotle said in a statement Tuesday, adding that it's been even harder to find managers to lead the restaurant.

"Because of these ongoing staffing challenges, there is no probability of reopening in the foreseeable future, so we've made the decision to permanently close the restaurant," she said. The restaurant had been closed to the public since June 17, Schalow noted, and was open only for staff trainings. Workers at the location will get severance pay, she said.

The closure has raised alarm bells among union organizers, who accused the chain of trying to stifle workers. Young described the closure as "union busting 101," adding "it's meant to discourage not just the workers here, but ... other Chipotle organizing efforts elsewhere." cnn.com

Shaking Up America's Food-Safety Program
FDA announces overhaul as baby formula shortage continues

Longtime problems in structure, function and leadership at the agency have left the American food system vulnerable to outbreaks of food-borne illnesses, legislators say

The commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that the agency is preparing for a shake-up of its food-safety program, four months after a nationwide shortage of baby formula drew attention to shortcomings in the program.

At a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Commissioner Robert M. Califf said the agency has initiated a review to recommend changes in light of the expanding number of industries producing food, as well as the role of climate change and the war in Ukraine. Califf did not cite the formula shortage as the main reason for the overhaul but spoke of an increasingly complicated food system that requires a new approach.

Critics have long complained that the FDA prioritizes drugs and medicine over food safety, despite a steady stream of high-profile outbreaks of food-borne illnesses in recent years, including romaine lettuce tainted with e-coli and salmonella in peanut butter. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 128,000 people in the United States are hospitalized with food-borne illnesses each year. washingtonpost.com

Thanks to our sponsors/partners - Take the time to thank them as well please. If it wasn't for them The Daily wouldn't be here every day for you.

As retail makes its comeback, it is more important than ever to conserve resources. This is especially important for reducing unnecessary and unexpected spending. Finding ways to reduce costs can be challenging, especially if your team has done a good job of doing more with less. We recommend looking to your foundational LP/AP programs to see if there are opportunities for tighter cost controls - like your key control program.

Locks and keys should be doing more to support the profitability of your organization. Swapping out basic brass locks and keys for a managed Key Control Program can make a big difference, even if you are already using interchangeable cores.

InstaKey clients that convert to an InstaKey Key Control Program save around 80% on rekeys. How?

Restricted, serialized keys (keys that cannot be duplicated) put tighter controls on key holder compliance. When keys cannot be duplicated, you can always know what keys are in circulation and who has them.
When keys go missing, our user-rekeyable key cores can be rekeyed (without locksmith service) up to nine times before a core needs to be replaced.
Cloud-based key tracking software enables retailers to streamline key system record keeping and gain better control of when rekeys happen and monitor associated costs.
When you partner with InstaKey, you get a dedicated team of Key Control experts as an extension of your in-house team. We support your Key Control Program to provide materials and best practices to keep a tight control on keyed security and costs.

Are you wasting precious dollars on unnecessary or unexpected locksmith callouts? Do you know how much you are spending? Schedule time to discuss your key control needs and find out if you can reduce spending on Key Control.

FBI Grapples with Increase in Targeted & Sophisticated Cyberattacks
The growth in targeted, sophisticated cyberattacks troubles top FBI cyber official
The FBI is deeply worried that cybercriminals and nation-state adversaries are developing more precision in their attacks and taking advantage of innovations in artificial intelligence that will compound the digital threat in the years to come, FBI Assistant Director for Cyber Bryan Vorndran said Wednesday.

“When we think about software as a service or even supply chain attacks, what happens when the adversary understands that there is perhaps one software factory that services the entire community,” said Vorndran, who oversees 1,000 FBI agents focused on cybercrimes nationwide, during a speech Wednesday at a Fordham University cybersecurity conference.

“If they’re that precise on targeting, it could shut down the entire commercial real estate industry. That is a huge problem,” he said.

China is already displaying more exactness when it comes to targeting its victims, but that level of sophistication isn’t commonplace among other nation-state adversaries yet, Vorndran said. For now, his No. 1 recommendation for business leaders is to understand how shared service software is used across their organizations because that’s often malicious hackers’ easiest target.

The FBI is also concerned that Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese and other foreign cybercriminals will begin carrying out ransomware attacks with the same intensity as Russia’s cybercrime syndicates. It’s a concern that’s further complicated by what Vorndran called the “blended threat.”

“It is very difficult to understand where the nation-state threat starts and stops and where the criminal threat starts and stops,” he said. “When we don’t see command and control from the nation-state over[head], it muddies the water in terms of understanding clearly what an adversary is after and that affects our ability to deploy the right resources.”

Finally, Vorndran said the emergence of synthetic content such as deep fakes and artificial intelligence will create massive and vexing problems for democracies. Citing the work of University of California at Berkeley scholar Hany Farid, an expert in digital analysis, Vorndran said he believes that within two to three years the world will be saturated with synthetic audio and video content that is virtually indistinguishable from reality. cyberscoop.com

NRF Calls for Uniform National Data Privacy Law
Retailers Welcome Action But Say House Bill Fails to Create a Uniform National Privacy Law
The National Retail Federation called on the House to move cautiously on federal privacy legislation, saying a measure approved today by the Energy and Commerce Committee fails to establish a single national standard for U.S. data privacy law.

“Unfortunately, this legislation fails to provide the strong and effective uniform national standard for data privacy law that is so badly needed,” NRF Senior Vice President for Government Relations David French said. “Consumers need to know their privacy is protected no matter who is handling their personal information or where they are located. Failure to effectively preempt the growing number of inconsistent state laws will keep that critical goal from being achieved."

The Energy and Commerce Committee today approved H.R. 8152, the American Data Privacy and Protection Act, sending the measure to the House floor for consideration. The bill is intended to provide a national framework for privacy that would limit the collection, processing and transfer of consumer information.

NRF has worked closely with the committee in recent weeks, urging members and staff to avoid language that would block retailers from being able to offer loyalty programs and to ensure that service providers handling covered entities’ covered data have requirements to protect that data and help fulfill consumers’ requests when they exercise their privacy rights under the legislation. The committee has revised the bill substantially to address both concerns.

However, NRF told sponsors in a letter today that the bill needs to do more to ensure that it will truly preempt state privacy laws, which are currently on the books in five states with more expected regardless of congressional action. Without effective preemption, the nation could eventually see 50 state privacy laws. The bill also lacks an adequate “notice and cure” provision that would give organizations time to correct alleged violations before enforcement actions may be brought. nrf.com

Massive E-Skimmer Campaign Hits Online Restaurant Ordering
Ongoing Magecart Campaign Targets Online Ordering at Local Restaurants

More than 311 local eateries have been breached through online ordering platforms MenuDrive, Harbortouch, and InTouchPOS, impacting 50K records — and counting.

A massive Magecart e-skimmer campaign has siphoned off the payment records of hundreds of restaurants by attacking their online payment platforms. Targets include MenuDrive, Harbortouch, and InTouchPOS, according to a new advisory.

So far, researchers at Insikt Group, Recorded Future's threat research division, Magecart attackers have posted more than 50,000 stolen order payment records from at least 311 restaurants — and they're offering them for sale on the underground Web. Researchers warn they expect that number to rise.

The report added that the compromised records include payment card data, as well as billing and contact details.

The three platforms in question are a departure from Magecart's usual target, the Magento e-commerce platform. During the pandemic, many local restaurants rushed to implement online ordering and payment, and they may not be paying attention to patching vulnerabilities or shoring up security in general for their new lines of business.

"Cybercriminals often seek the highest payout for the least amount of work," the Tuesday Magecart campaign report said. "This has led them to target restaurants' online ordering platforms; when even a single platform is attacked, dozens or even hundreds of restaurants can have their transactions compromised, which allows cybercriminals to steal vast amounts of customer payment card data disproportionate to the number of systems they actually hack." darkreading.com

Returning Ransom Payments to Businesses
Feds Recoup $500K From Maui Ransomware Gang

Law enforcement hopes that retuning ransom payments to impacted businesses will demonstrate that working with the feds following is "good business."

The Federal Bureau of Investigation seized the Maui-connected cryptocurrency accounts back in May and is now working through the courts with the Department of Justice to return the money to its victims. Maui is a strain of ransomware with ties to the North Korean state that focuses its crippling cyberattacks on healthcare and public health organizations.

The returned ransom success story is meant to serve as a signal to other targeted organizations that working with law enforcement following a cybersecurity incident is "good business," Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division said in a statement about the court filing.

"The FBI is dedicated to working with our federal and private sector partners to disrupt nation-state actors who pose a critical cyber-threat to the American people,” FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director Bryan Vorndran said about the recovered Maui ransomware payments. "We will continue to pursue these malicious cyber-actors, such as these North Korean hackers, who threaten the American public regardless of where they may be and work to successfully retrieve ransom payments where possible." darkreading.com

Using Lights to Deter Cannabis Crime
Security Lighting Guide for Cannabis Businesses
Lights are the first line of defense for any brick-and-mortar store, but in the cannabis industry, they are an even more crucial component of the security system. A proper security lighting system can both prevent and deter potential intruders, secure parking lots and outside perimeters, and illuminate areas that receive little or no light from adjacent properties.

Outside, exterior lights allow security personnel to observe the activity of people and vehicles. Inside, sufficient interior lighting allows employees to verify access to the property and properly match badges and IDs. Similarly, security personnel will be able to effectively manage threats, and have an easier time monitoring or re-watching camera footage.

Types of Security Lighting

Flood Lights - Areas with the least amount of illumination will utilize flood lights to emit broad beams onto large spaces. Some examples of placement include parking lots, concert halls, and professional sports arenas.

Motion-Detecting Lights - Though lights are an effective tool, leaving them on 24/7 can be costly, but can also show an intruder a clear path to a facility’s points of entry. To prevent this, motion-detecting lights can be used so that when activity is sensed, the light turns on and after a set period of time, they turn off. More advanced models can pick up infrared absorption for bigger heat sources and distinguish a person or car from “insignificant triggers” like animals and insects.

Strobe & Siren Lights - The last thing an intruder wants to experience is anything that reminds them of law enforcement. Strobe and siren do just that by heightening the sense of urgency with flashing lights and discomforting sounds. As it is certain to grab the attention of anyone in the building, an intruder would then have to make a split-second decision to either continue the unlawful activity by remaining in the facility or fleeing the scene. This is a perfect example of security lighting functioning as a psychological deterrent.

Decoy Lights - Decoy lights are purely there to deter intruders. Many businesses and home-owners assume that all they need is for devices to appear to be working, but like cameras, a good thief or intruder will be able to tell if the device is a fake by its location and mounting and appearance. sapphirerisk.com

Cybersecurity Should be Key Component of Security Plan
Cannabis businesses can’t afford to ignore cybersecurity
Over 200 conditional cannabis cultivation licenses have already been approved, conditional processing applications are open, and experts anticipate retail regulations will be finalized shortly. The New York legal recreational cannabis market is barreling ahead with thousands of entrepreneurs diligently working on their applications.

One component most potential business owners will need to address is security: local municipalities want to maintain a safe community as they introduce this new industry into their neighborhoods. But while companies debate the proper number of cameras, alarm systems, locks, and other more traditional security measures, many are forgetting one vital element: cybersecurity.

All small businesses need to be concerned about cyber threats. This can include credit card theft, misuse of personally identifiable information, ransomware, or even leaked trade secrets. The cannabis industry is a particularly attractive and vulnerable cybercrime target. What makes cannabis different?

Inherently due to the cannabis industry’s history of prohibition and complicated current legal status (federally illegal, but legal in some capacity in a majority of states), the industry already has a target on its back. Hackers may target cannabis businesses in an effort to de-legitimize the industry and reinforce preexisting negative stereotypes or acquire sensitive information about employees and vendors.

The legal cannabis industry is also brand new and quickly evolving. There aren’t defined best practices or examples for cannabis businesses to easily follow or copy. This means many companies won’t have the threat of hacks on their business plan or strategy – making them a big target for even unsophisticated hackers.

Most cannabis businesses aren’t big enough to have an IT person or IT staff and are more likely to not have best practices in place to be able to handle a cybersecurity attack. This could result in an attack going unnoticed or staff members who aren’t properly trained to avoid phishing attempts. newyorkupstate.com

Cannabis Retailers Allowed to Deliver
BC to now allow private cannabis retailers to deliver through common carriers such as Canada Post and delivery-service providers
BC announced changes to its rules today that will allow private cannabis retailers anywhere in the province to use delivery service providers. Beginning Friday, July 8, 2022, licensed cannabis retail stores (CRSs) in BC can deliver non-medical cannabis to consumers through common carriers such as Canada Post and delivery-service providers.

Previously, the only delivery option for all BC private retailers was using their own delivery services. However, the province-run BC Cannabis Store has been able to also use a third-party service, Pineapple Express, since March of this year for any sales in BC’s Lower Mainland.

Retailers must ensure that delivery service providers and common carriers delivering non-medical cannabis on their behalf comply with all relevant requirements, including those in ‘ID Requirements’ above. Like current deliveries, they will only be allowed between the hours of 9 am and 11 pm. stratcann.com

Behind Amazon's Lawsuit Against Facebook
Why Amazon is suing the heads of 10,000 Facebook groups instead of Meta
Amazon has been fighting fake reviews on its e-commerce platform for years, and now it’s taking the battle to court. On Tuesday, the tech giant announced that it has filed a lawsuit against the administrators of some 10,000 Facebook groups it claims are dedicated to fake review scams.

The move is meant to tamp down on fake review brokers and the individuals who participate in such schemes. The reason for such a concerted effort? Protecting both consumers who purchase products based on fake reviews, and Amazon’s own reputation while it’s at it.

After all, if customers end up buying faulty or otherwise terrible products based on Amazon’s users reviews, those same customers will gradually lose trust in the company. And that could dent its bottom line.

You may ask yourself, if companies like Facebook-parent Meta are hosting sites where scammers are recruiting people to post fake reviews, why isn’t Amazon just going after Meta?

The answer is the often controversial internet law called Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. The law allows internet companies like Facebook to host third-party content without being held responsible for the content itself. So if someone runs a group about fake reviews, Amazon can only go after the person running the group, not Meta.

Of course, Section 230 also allows Amazon to host its own user product reviews without being held liable for what those users write. The law also ensures that internet platforms can moderate objectionable content.

In other words, Section 230 is a positive and negative for Amazon in that it lets users post reviews of products, while simultaneously protecting third-party sites where scammers collaborate and scheme about fake reviews.

Amazon says it has reported 10,000 fake review groups to Meta, and that the Facebook parent has taken down about half of those. Meta is continuing to investigate other groups, Amazon says. finance.yahoo.com

DA Announces New ORC Theft Team
Maricopa County, AZ: County Attorney’s Office looks to crack down on retail theft with new team
The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office is looking to crack down on retail theft after Arizona and surrounding states saw an increase. Interim County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced in a press conference on Wednesday that she is creating an organized retail theft team, comprised of multiple prosecutors and an investigator to coordinate with local business owners and law enforcement to ensure successful prosecution of these crimes. “The people who are coming here from other states, such as California, specifically Los Angeles or Las Vegas or Albuquerque, you need to understand if you come here and commit these crimes, plan to stay a little bit longer than you thought you would,” she said. “We are not going to tolerate that here.” Mitchell said the Los Angeles District Attorney will not prosecute retail theft below $1000, but she said that is not the case for Maricopa County. Mitchell added she’s making this a priority for her office to try and help curb the crime before it gets any worse. Retail leaders also attended the press conference and spoke firsthand about what they’ve experienced. ktar.com

Sometimes the best reaction is no reaction as the old expression "Silence is Golden" is more applicable than most think. Especially in a situation where you're unfamiliar with the surroundings, the people, the cultural beliefs, or the boundaries. The key is having the self-discipline not to react or speak. It can help prevent you from going too far or showing anger and it just may keep you from destroying a relationship or your reputation. Reacting is easy - listening and biding your time isn't.

Just a Thought,
Gus
