📲EU makes social platforms liable for payment scams
Deal reached after eight hours of talks early Thursday. Platforms including Meta and TikTok will be legally responsible when users fall victim to financial scams. Rules create shared liability: banks must refund customers when security fails or payments occur without consent; social platforms must reimburse banks if they ignore reports of scams. Measure expands the EU’s digital rules and allows fines. Lawmakers cite rising scams and AI misuse; tech groups warn the approach could be counterproductive.
