Mark Zuckerberg's Meta Asked To Foot The Bill Partly In Fraud Cases By UK Fintech: 'These Platforms Share No Responsibility'
"These platforms share no responsibility in reimbursing victims, and so they have no incentive to do anything about it. A commitment to data sharing, albeit needed, simply isn't good enough," he stated.U.K.-based fintech company Revolut has called on Mark Zuckerberg-led Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) to help cover the costs of reimbursing victims of fraud.
总部位于英国的金融科技公司Revolut呼吁马克·扎克伯格领导的Meta Platforms Inc.（纳斯达克股票代码：META）帮助支付补偿欺诈受害者的费用。
What Happened: On Thursday, Woody Malouf, Revolut's head of financial crime, dismissed Meta's initiative to "launch a data-sharing partnership with U.K. banks and financial institutions to prevent fraud," calling it insufficient.
发生了什么：周四，Revolut的金融犯罪负责人伍迪·马洛夫驳回了Meta提出的 “与英国银行和金融机构建立数据共享合作伙伴关系以防止欺诈” 的倡议，称这还不够。
Malouf argued that tech platforms like Meta bear no responsibility in reimbursing victims, thus lacking incentive to tackle the issue.
马洛夫认为，像Meta这样的科技平台对补偿受害者不承担任何责任，因此缺乏解决这个问题的动力。
"These platforms share no responsibility in reimbursing victims, and so they have no incentive to do anything about it. A commitment to data sharing, albeit needed, simply isn't good enough," he stated.
“这些平台在补偿受害者方面不承担任何责任，因此他们没有动力为此做任何事情。尽管有必要，但对数据共享的承诺根本不够好，” 他说。
According to a new report from Revolut released on the same day, 69% of scams reported by U.K. customers in the first half of this year originated from Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
根据Revolut当天发布的一份新报告，英国客户在今年上半年报告的诈骗中有69％来自包括Facebook和Instagram在内的元平台。
This marked an increase from 67% in the second half of last year.
这比去年下半年的67％有所增加。
"We are confident in the steps the UK government is taking to tackle fraud, but what is urgently needed now is for Meta and other social media companies to commit to supporting victims of fraud in the same way financial institutions do. Their silence on this issue says it all," said Malouf.
“我们对英国政府为应对欺诈而采取的措施充满信心，但现在迫切需要的是 Meta 和其他社交媒体公司承诺像金融机构一样支持欺诈受害者。他们在这个问题上的沉默说明了一切，” 马洛夫说。
