GNN News appears
One line warns of spy present on a planet
Highlight the line, press goto on the GNN screen
Press Nulify on the spy screen
On completion you are sent to desktop, not back to GNN

Effect for user is that the entries in the GNN screen that follow the warning are lost. On anything above Small map, thats a drama as there could be many entries of completed ships etc. To find them you would have to hunt all planets to find those with completed ships to launch. Equivelant effect on improvements, you dont know which finished. Amongst a list of 100+ planets its not fun finding the stuff you need from the dropped list.

Whilst the quick summary list on the right of the main screen lists completions in green, its easy not to clear that for a couple of turns, and you end up not being able to track the dropped list outlined above without extensive searching. Large maps and above, it can be a big hassle.
