Social Media Account Verification: Ending Fake Profiles and Scams
This act aims to protect citizens from financial or physical harm and scams originating from fake social media accounts. Social media companies will be required to remove such accounts and verify their creators, while citizens will gain tools to report suspicious profiles. This will enhance online safety and reduce the risk of being defrauded.
Key points
Social media companies must remove fake accounts and verify their creators to protect users from scams.
Citizens will be able to report fake accounts, and companies will have 45 days to respond and remove or disable access to such profiles.
Users making false or bad faith complaints about accounts may face penalties, including suspension or banning from the platform.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will oversee compliance and can impose penalties on companies that fail to adhere to these regulations.
