  1. 01

    How would dating apps determine which fraud cases warrant user notifications, and what accuracy threshold should trigger an alert?

  2. 02

    What implementation costs might dating app companies face, and how could those expenses affect service accessibility for lower-income users?

  3. 03

    Could mandatory notifications create legal liability for apps if warned users still lose money to scams that apps failed to prevent?
