Tripadvisor’s 2025 Transparency Report reveals strong review submissions and improved fraud detection

PR Newswire


NEEDHAM, Mass.
, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tripadvisor®, the world’s largest travel guidance platform, today released the fourth edition of its Transparency Report, exploring the company’s ongoing efforts to ensure its platform remains a trusted source for global travel guidance.

The report, released every two years, analyzes the prior year’s global community contributions, offering a deep dive into global submissions and highlighting shifting review trends.


Becky Foley, Head of Trust & Safety at Tripadvisor, said:
 “As the world’s largest travel guidance platform, no one has a greater commitment to ensuring that the content on our site is reliable and trustworthy. While many companies are scaling back their Trust and Safety efforts, Tripadvisor remains steadfast in prioritizing trust. These actions reaffirm our unwavering commitment to consumer protection and our leadership in the travel industry through integrity and innovation. As Tripadvisor celebrates its 25th anniversary, the company is proud to have spent those years dedicated to fostering a trusted resource for travelers and businesses.”

Tripadvisor’s 2025 Transparency Report’s key insights include:

1. Strong growth for content submissions
Travelers shared nearly 80 million contributions in 2024 via the Tripadvisor website and app, a 9% increase from the last report. This included 31.1 million reviews and 38.1 million photos and videos. Notably, the platform experienced a significant surge in reviews for experiences, attractions and activities – up 45% from the last report – as this category continues to grow in popularity with Tripadvisor members.

Community engagement also remained extremely high in 2024. Tripadvisor business owners responded to over 11 million reviews, while members responded to 257,000 questions from fellow travelers. Tripadvisor’s forums remain a popular place to learn about destinations and discuss travel, with almost 2.6 million posts published last year.

2. A Multi-Layered Approach to Content Moderation
Reviews submitted to Tripadvisor can be subject to three review moderation processes, including automation, human oversight, and community input to ensure content integrity and fairness. Around 9 out of 10 reviews (87.8%) met our automation standards for posting in 2024, with 7.3% rejected through technological analysis and 4.9% flagged for further review by moderators. Our Trust and Safety team moderated 4.2 million (13.5% of all reviews) either before or after posting.

3. Fighting Fake Reviews
Tripadvisor continues to tackle fraudulent activity, including fake reviews that are designed to manipulate business listings’ ratings and rankings. Through a combination of advanced technology, human analysis, and community engagement, Tripadvisor successfully safeguarded travelers from 2.7 million fraudulent reviews in 2024.

‘Review boosting,’ where business owners, employees, or anyone affiliated with a business posts positive reviews to boost their own rankings, accounted for the majority of fake review submissions (54% of total fraud in 2024).

Around 9,000 businesses received warnings for engaging in incentivized reviews, which is where businesses ‘bribe’ customers or ‘reward’ employees for positive reviews. In fact, 360,000 removed reviews were linked to employee incentive programs, where businesses offer rewards to their own staff in exchange for positive reviews.

With fraudulent review schemes evolving, Tripadvisor has strengthened its fraud detection models and reinforced policies that lead to penalizing businesses on our platform, continuing to stay one step ahead of the bad actors.

4. The Impact of Generative AI
Generative AI is having a noticeable impact on submissions posted to the platform and 214,000 AI-generated reviews were flagged and removed in 2024 to prevent misleading content.

“Our approach to AI-generated content is rooted in maintaining traveler trust in opinions shared on our platform,” added Foley. “While AI has many benefits, removing reviews identified as being written by AI helps our users avoid a ‘sea of sameness’ on Tripadvisor, allowing them to discover truly unique insights from fellow travelers.”

5. Increased Industry Collaboration
As a way to continue to collaborate and lead in the review space, Tripadvisor has joined forces with other major online platforms to establish the Coalition for Trusted Reviews. This global initiative, founded alongside Amazon, Expedia Group, Glassdoor, Booking.com and Trustpilot, focuses on industry-wide standards to define and prevent fake reviews; best practice sharing for content moderation; collaborative fraud detection efforts and policy advocacy to support stronger consumer protections.

Actinium Pharmaceuticals Announces Clinical Trial Program in Solid Tumors Combining Actimab-A with PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibitors KEYTRUDA® and OPDIVO®

PR Newswire

–       Trials are designed to demonstrate whether the addition of Actimab-A to either KEYTRUDA® or OPDIVO® can result in improved patient outcomes

–       MDSCs – Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells in the tumor microenvironment are believed to reduce effectiveness of PD-1 inhibitors like KEYTRUDA® and OPDIVO®

–       Trials supported by preclinical data showing Actimab-A can selectively target and deplete MDSCs which express CD33

–       Clinical proof of concept data expected in 2025 could potentially open up a multi-billion-dollar market opportunity for Actimab-A as a combination therapy with PD-1 inhibitors in multiple solid tumors


NEW YORK
, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: ATNM) (Actinium or the Company), a pioneer in the development of targeted radiotherapies, today announced a clinical program comprising of trials studying Actimab-A in combination with either KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) or OPDIVO® (nivolumab) which are blockbuster immunotherapies known as PD-1 inhibitors which are approved in multiple solid tumor indications.  KEYTRUDA® developed and commercialized by Merck & Co. and OPDIVO® developed and commercialized by Bristol Myers Squibb, collectively generated $38.8 billion in sales in 2024 across several solid tumor cancer indications. However, the efficacy of these drugs has shown to be limited by a certain type of cell known as MDSCs or Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells which accumulate in the tumor microenvironment. MDSCs express the CD33 antigen which is targeted by Actimab-A.  The rationale for studying Actimab-A in combination with either KEYTRUDA®  or OPDIVO® is based on the premise that depleting MDSCs with Actimab-A will improve the efficacy of these drugs.

MDSCs are immune-suppressive cells that help tumors evade immune detection and promote disease progression. They are overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment in several different solid tumors and associated with poor outcomes. They work by multiple mechanisms but most relevant to PD-1 inhibitors which work by keeping T-cells active is that MDSCs prevent T-cells from recognizing and attacking cancer cells. There is considerable preclinical scientific evidence in the literature that depleting MDSCs could be a viable strategy in improving the outcomes of PD-1 directed immunotherapy, however, there have been no viable clinical approaches that have been tried successfully to our knowledge.  MDSCs are known to express the CD33 antigen which is the target of Actimab-A.  Actinium has also generated published and unpublished preclinical data showing that Actimab-A can selectively deplete MDSCs in solid tumors.  Actinium believes that in the clinic Actimab-A can deplete CD33 expressing MDSCs and hence improve the outcomes with PD-1 inhibitors such as KEYTRUDA® and OPDIVO®.

Actimab-A is Actinium’s lead radiotherapeutic that delivers Actinium-225, a potent alpha-emitter radioisotope payload that can produce lethal double strand DNA breaks to kill targeted cells. Actimab-A has been studied in over 150 patients in several clinical trials in Acute Myeloid Leukemia or AML.  Based on its safety and tolerability, Actimab-A is under clinical development via an NCI CRADA in the front-line AML setting with an expected registrational study in combination with CLAG-M in relapsed/refractory AML expected to initiate in 2025.

The Actimab-A solid tumor program is comprised of several controlled, head-to-head clinical trials that will evaluate the combination of Actimab-A with KEYTRUDA® versus KEYTRUDA® alone, and Actimab-A with OPDIVO® versus OPDIVO® alone. The initial tumors that are being targeted are HNSCC or Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma and NSCLC or Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with a separate trial for each indication. The patient population for these trials will be adults with PD-L1 expression and locally advanced metastatic HNSCC or NSCLC randomized to either Actimab-A alone or Actimab-A with a specific checkpoint inhibitor. The objective of each trial would be to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as following endpoints including ORR – Overall Response Rate, PFS – Progression Free Survival and OS – Overall Survival. Further, the following biomarker data would be collected including the pattern of depletion of CD33+ MDSCs and T-Cell activity in peripheral blood. Actinium expects to present initial proof of concept clinical data from the first of these trials in the second half of 2025 as well as provide an update on the outlook for the rest of the trials in the Actimab-A solid tumor program.

Dr. Avinash Desai, Actinium’s Chief Medical Officer, said, “The Actimab-A solid tumor program is highly novel and has the potential to address the high unmet need of patients receiving PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors whose cancer stops responding or progresses. Our preclinical data is highly encouraging and we believe this novel approach combining Actimab-A with PD-1 inhibitors has immense potential. We are greatly enthusiastic about these head-to-head trials, and eager to present our initial proof-of-concept results by the end of 2025.”

Sandesh Seth, Actinium’s Chairman and CEO, said, “We have great enthusiasm for Actimab-A in combination with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors given the large potential addressable patient population. MDSCs are over expressed in multiple solid tumors giving Actimab-A pan tumor potential in indications that are treated with checkpoint inhibitors.  Per our initial estimates this represents a treatment population in excess of  500,000 patients. Together with our efforts in myeloid malignancies, this is another important program for Actimab-A. This year, clinical data from Actimab-A as a potential backbone therapy in radiation sensitive myeloid malignancies, and in solid tumors in combination with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors, can establish its potential to become a leading blockbuster targeted radiotherapy.”

About Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Actinium is a pioneer in the development of targeted radiotherapies intended to meaningfully improve patient outcomes. Actinium is advancing its lead product candidate Actimab-A, a CD33 targeting therapeutic, as potential backbone therapy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other myeloid malignancies leveraging the mutation agnostic alpha-emitter radioisotope payload Actinium-225 (Ac-225). Actimab-A has demonstrated potential activity in relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (r/r AML) patients in combination with the chemotherapy CLAG-M including high rates of Complete Remissions (CR) and measurable residual disease (MRD) negativity leading to improved survival outcomes and is being advanced to a pivotal Phase 2/3 trial. In addition, Actinium is engaged with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) under the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) for development of Actimab-A in AML and other myeloid malignancies. The first clinical trial under the CRADA will evaluate the triplet combination comprised of Actimab-A, Venetoclax (Abbvie/Roche) an oral Bcl-2 inhibitor and ASTX-727 (Taiho Oncology, an Otsuka holdings company) a novel oral hypomethylating agent (HMA) in frontline acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. Additionally, Actinium is developing Actimab-A as a potential pan tumor therapy in combination with PD-1 checkpoint inhibitors including KEYTRUDA® and OPDIVO® by depleting myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which represents a potential multi-billion-dollar addressable market. Iomab-ACT, Actinium’s next generation conditioning candidate, is being developed with the goal of improving patient access and outcomes for potentially curative cell and gene therapies. Iomab-B is an induction and conditioning agent prior to bone marrow transplant in patients with r/r AML, which Actinium is seeking a potential strategic partner for in the U.S. In addition, the company’s R&D efforts are primarily focused on advancing several preclinical programs for solid tumor indications. Actinium holds 230 patents and patent applications including several patents related to the manufacture of the isotope Ac-225 in a cyclotron.

4.3 MW Glen Rd Solar Project in Development by SolarBank in New York

PR Newswire


500 Homes Expected to be Powered by this Community Solar Project


TORONTO
, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – SolarBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) (“SolarBank” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its plans to develop a 4.3 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the Glen Rd project (the “Project”) on a site located in upstate New York. With a secured site lease and interconnection study underway, the Project is another key addition to SolarBank’s expanding development pipeline—which exceeds one gigawatt—as well as the Company’s commitment to advancing community solar.

Assuming the Project’s interconnection study is successful, the Company will continue to work to complete the permitting process and secure the necessary financing for the construction of the Project. The Project is expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA“) NY-Sun Program.

Once completed, the Project will be operated as a community solar project. Community solar is a group of solar panels with access to the local electricity grid. Once the panels are turned on and generating electricity, clean energy from the site feeds into the local power grid. Depending on the size and number of panels the project has, dozens or even hundreds of renters and homeowners can save money from the electricity that is generated by the project. By subscribing to a project, a homeowner earns credits on their electric bill every month from their portion of the solar that’s generated by the project, accessing the benefits of solar without installing panels on their home.

Solar Simplified handles all customer-facing activities for the Company’s community solar projects, allowing it to focus on developing and expanding its renewable energy portfolio. Solar Simplified’s expertise in acquisition, enrollment, and management ensures full project subscription and maximized revenue from day one. With a business model that aligns seamlessly with the Company’s, this partnership drives sustainable growth, enabling the Company to accelerate development, bring more projects online each year, and create greater value for its business and the communities served by the Company.

There are several risks associated with the development of the Project. The development of any project is subject to receipt of interconnection approval, receipt of a community solar contract, required permits, the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and the risks associated with the construction of a solar power project. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar power, which could result in future projects no longer being economic. Please refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the Project and statements made in this press release.

Sargento® Natural American Cheese: Taste The Difference
A sliced cheese made with 100% natural cheese. Unlike typical processed American cheeses in the dairy case with nine or more ingredients, Sargento® Natural American Cheese has just five, delivering the melt, flavor, aroma and texture that consumers are familiar with. This industry-disrupting innovation, years in the making, underscores Sargento’s 71-year commitment to quality as well as innovating the consumer experience for the future.

Cheesy Meets Spicy

Developed in collaboration with the spice category leader McCormick & Co, Inc., Sargento® Seasoned Shredded Cheese provide the spicy, bold twist on real, natural cheese that consumers crave.

Balanced Breaks® snacks in partnership with Mondelēz International, Inc., Shareables offer a convenient, resealable snacking solution for consumers to serve, enjoy together and save for later. Shareables come in three varieties, each featuring two Sargento® real, natural cheeses paired with RITZ® or TRISCUIT® crackers:

  • Sargento® Cheddar & Colby-Jack + RITZ®
  • Sargento® White Cheddar & Gouda + TRISCUIT®
  • Sargento® Pepper Jack & Monterey Jack + RITZ®

The new innovations expand the Sargento family of products, joining the recently released Sargento® Cheese Bakes, a collaboration with snacking leader Mondelēz International, Inc’s Nabisco Crackers launched earlier this year. With this launch, the Sargento® brand is in the cracker aisle for the very first time.

These innovations represent “The Sargento Family Promise™” – the brand’s newly launched platform spotlighting the category leader’s three-generation, family tradition of delivering high-quality, real, natural cheese that consumers can trust and love. In upholding the platform’s promise, consumers can be sure all innovations have undergone the company’s quality review to ensure the taste, texture, melt and aroma are worthy of holding the Sargento family seal – as they say, “you have our word on it, you have our name on it.”
