The House of Representatives passed HR 2481 in June, a bipartisan bill that requires dating apps and similar services to issue fraud ban notifications to users who’ve interacted with those removed from the app for fraudulent activity.
“Millions of Americans use online dating platforms to connect with romantic partners, but unfortunately, they’ve also become a way for scammers to target and exploit unsuspecting victims,” said California Congressman David Valadao in a press release following the passage. “As criminals become more sophisticated, it’s important we have safeguards in place to protect users. The Romance Scam Prevention Act is a bipartisan effort to enhance online safety and combat financial fraud, and I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to get this bill across the finish line.” (MORE NEWS: Montana Steams Ahead In Protecting Citizens From Dystopian Tech)

Tom Suozzi noted. “As a father, a former mayor and as a member of Congress, I’ll never stop fighting to protect people from exploitation—online or anywhere else.”
