US consumer groups urge Congress to investigate online scams
Original: US consumer groups press Congress to probe scams on tech platforms
American consumer advocacy organisations are calling on Congress to open an investigation into scams proliferating on major technology platforms. The groups want lawmakers to examine how fraudsters exploit social media and online marketplaces, and what responsibility the companies bear. The push adds to growing political pressure in Washington over platform accountability and consumer protection.
Why now: Concern over rising online fraud has put platform accountability back on the US legislative agenda.
