F. Murray Abraham issues apology following allegations of sexual misconduct: “I told jokes, nothing more”

It was announced last year that the 83-year-old actor would not be returning to the third season of the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest, although no explanation was offered.

However, earlier this week (April 18), it was reported that his departure from the show was due to accusations of sexual misconduct. Now, in light of the allegations, Abraham has publicly apologised for his behaviour, and insisted that he never meant to cause offence with his “jokes”.

Facebook still being used to arrange fake reviews – Which?

blankFacebook is still being used by people arranging fake five-star reviews for products, consumer group Which? has said.

It found 14 groups centred around trading reviews for cash or free products – including earbuds, fitness watches and a solar-powered sprinkler.

Which? first reported on such groups in 2018 – and the government is preparing legislation to tackle the problem.

Facebook said it was investing in new technologies to weed out fake reviews.

”Fraudulent and deceptive activity is not allowed on our platforms, including offering or trading fake reviews,” said an official from Meta, which owns Facebook.

”We’ve removed the groups shared with us, for violating our policies.”

However, the move also applies to media sources whose content really is heavily influenced by governments, including China’s Xinhua as well as Russia’s RT and Sputnik.
