By collaborating, these companies plan to enhance consumer education and protection, disrupt scam operations, and develop new technologies to tackle evolving online threats.
Collaboration for Effective Solutions
The coalition members, including social media and cryptocurrency firms, will work together to share best practices and insights into emerging scam tactics. This joint effort is expected to strengthen the overall response to online fraud and provide consumers with better protection and resources.
