HR 6125 United States House · 118th Congress

Online Dating Safety Act of 2023

This bill requires online dating platforms to notify users within 24 hours (with possible 3-day delay under specific circumstances) if they’ve interacted with a member recently banned for suspected fraud. Notifications must include the banned member’s identifier, a warning about potential scams, advice not to share money or financial details, and links to fraud prevention resources. Platforms gain liability protection for following these rules, and the Federal Trade Commission can enforce violations as deceptive practices. The law also prevents states from creating conflicting notification requirements, establishing a single national standard for this safety measure.
