Fraud Committee inquiry: Meta, TikTok, and Fluttr to give evidence

This evidence session will be streamed live on Parliament TV.

The committee will hear from:

• Elizabeth Kanter, Director of Government Affairs Public Policy Manager, TikTok
• Graham Pullan, CEO, Fluttr
• Philip Milton, Public Policy Manager, Meta.

Questions the committee is likely to cover in this session include:

• What preventative steps do you take to actively stop fraud before it happens on your platforms?
• How effective are consumer education campaigns? For example, do users of dating  apps know about tools like reverse image search?
• The committee has heard evidence which suggests that social media platforms are being used to recruit money mules. What are you doing to prevent this?
• How can scammers be stopped from using WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and similar internet-based messaging to commit fraud?
• What barriers do your companies face when sharing data on fraud risks and identifiers within your sector, across sectors and with law enforcement? Does GDPR help or hinder this process?
• How will the fraud measures in the Online Safety Bill affect social media platforms?
• Would the introduction of a ‘failure to prevent fraud’ duty incentivise action by companies whose platforms are used to facilitate scams?
