Answer: They’ve all been used this week by crooks promoting cryptocurrency scams on Twitter
The Online Safety Bill finished its passage through Parliament this week and not a moment too soon.
I’ve been among those campaigning for the Bill to include measures to fight social-media platforms which profit from fraud by carrying ads placed by crooks.
These measures were only included after an outcry and mean that the biggest players will face fines of up to 10% of global turnover for facilitating frauds, and executives could be prosecuted for non-compliance.
This is vital because the industry is incapable of voluntarily acting decently.
