Ripple’s David Schwartz says heavy content filtering weakens protection from XRP scams

With nearly $443 billion estimated to be stolen by scammers globally in 2025, David Schwartz argued that excessive control by social media platforms can hinder anti-fraud efforts, especially for XRP . Schwartz warned that social platforms and influencers should not aggressively filter scam-related content in a bid to enhance user protection. In an X reply to crypto user Khaled Elawadi, who had suggested that social media platforms adopt truth filters monitored by artificial intelligence ( AI ), Schwartz urged Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) to inform their followers of all the emerging scams.
