Schwartz Says Filtering Could Hide XRP Scam Posts From Potential Warners

Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz argued that filtering could hide XRP scam posts from people who might warn their followers, raising a concern about how content moderation affects scam warnings. In an Oct. 24 reply, Schwartz said he prefers to let most content through so he can monitor false claims. He acknowledged that this preference may not be typical. His argument did not establish whether lighter filtering helps people spot scams or spread warnings. U.S. consumers reported $2.1 billion in losses to scams that began on social media in 2025.
