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.
總部位於英國的金融科技公司Revolut呼籲馬克·扎克伯格領導的Meta Platforms Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：META）幫助支付補償欺詐受害者的費用。
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.
發生了什麼：週四，Revolut的金融犯罪負責人伍迪·馬洛夫駁回了Meta提出的 「與英國銀行和金融機構建立數據共享合作伙伴關係以防止欺詐」 的倡議，稱這還不夠。
Malouf argued that tech platforms like Meta bear no responsibility in reimbursing victims, thus lacking incentive to tackle the issue.
馬洛夫認爲，像Meta這樣的科技平台對補償受害者不承擔任何責任，因此缺乏解決這個問題的動力。
"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.
「這些平台在補償受害者方面不承擔任何責任，因此他們沒有動力爲此做任何事情。儘管有必要，但對數據共享的承諾根本不夠好，」 他說。
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.
根據Revolut當天發佈的一份新報告，英國客戶在今年上半年報告的詐騙中有69％來自包括Facebook和Instagram在內的元平台。
This marked an increase from 67% in the second half of last year.
這比去年下半年的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.
「我們對英國政府爲應對欺詐而採取的措施充滿信心，但現在迫切需要的是 Meta 和其他社交媒體公司承諾像金融機構一樣支持欺詐受害者。他們在這個問題上的沉默說明了一切，」 馬洛夫說。
