Win for consumers with new bank liability, but fight against fraud far from over

New EU rules mark a win for consumers by strengthening bank liability for payment fraud and scams. While the deal improves protections and transparency, Greens/EFA warn it falls short by failing to hold online platforms fully accountable as fraud driven by AI and social engineering continues to rise across Europe.

PFAS in Wine, Water & Makeup: How We Can Ban Forever Chemicals From Our Lives

One of the biggest problems with PFAS is their persistence. These chemicals stay in the environment for years — often decades — without breaking down. That means once they get into rivers, lakes or soil, they’re very difficult to remove. Rain can carry them into groundwater and, from there, into our drinking water.
