Viewpoint: Will $10M fines make online platforms safer?

from Reset with Lynlee Hosted by MONEY FM 89.3

Singapore has raised the maximum fine for online platforms that fail to comply with anti-scam directions from S$1 million to S$10 million. But will a larger penalty stop scams from reaching users or will criminals simply change tactics? On Viewpoint, Lynlee Foo speaks to Benjamin Ang, Senior Fellow and Head of Digital Impact Research at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, NTU, about where platforms can intervene, whether too much responsibility has been placed on individuals, and how much convenience and privacy users may have to trade for greater security.
