Fraud places huge costs on businesses, banks, and consumers, and is deemed a national security threat by the government.
Join us and City of London to discuss how all stakeholders - from government, to the tech industry, to the police - can work together to tackle it.
All day FCC meeting starts at 10am to select amendments to motions and emergency motions for #LDConf.
@nickdacosta.bsky.social is going to need to be BRUTAL with his chairing today: you lovely lot sent us over 230 pages (A4 pages!) of amendments and emergency motions to consider.

I'm just... I'm really fucking scared. REALLY scared. And any fash who happen across me being really scared will probably say "good".
It's #LDconf in less than 2 weeks and I suspect we're not even going to talk about or recognise what needs to be done here.
