Require Facebook to Effectively Monitor Posts for Scams

The Issue

The internet, especially social media platforms like Facebook, is an amazing tool that connects people from all over the world. However, according to the FBI's 2020 Internet Crime Report, the internet is also a platform for twelve billion dollars' worth of internet crime, a lot of which is cyber fraud or scam. The statistics highlight the urgency of tackling this problem. Everyday users have reported instances of scams on Facebook, but these reports have often gone ignored. Neglecting to address these scams endangers the safety and security of its users. With its vast resources, comprehensive scam detection and prevention should not be beyond the capability of a platform as significant as Facebook. We request that Facebook takes a stronger stance against scams, improving their scam detection methods and effectively acting on reports made by their users. Make Facebook a safer digital sea by signing this petition and advocating for stricter fraud regulations.
