Pensions - Articles - Online Safety Bill introduced in parliament


Kate Smith, Head of Pensions at Aegon, comments on the Online Safety Bill which has been introduced in parliament *

 “Today is a good day for the public but a bad day for any potential scammers, as the government has finally introduced the long awaited Online Safety Bill in parliament. The bill will include a wide range of measures, including protecting people from financial scams and holding tech companies to account for scams on their platforms. Although this is a great step forward, especially for those who are vulnerable, it’s really important that legislation has the flexibility to move with the times to keep one-step ahead of fraudsters.

 The sad truth is that scammers will always try to adapt and take advantage of new, currently unknown situations to part people with their hard-earned cash.”
