A The Digital Scam Education Act seeks to teach high school students and older adults practical online-scam verification habits. Scam tactics change quickly, so one-time warnings can become outdated. Consumer-protection agencies and libraries receive grants for regularly updated scenarios, source-checking routines, and outcome surveys, with no brand promotion. That process could produce this benefit: participants could practice durable habits instead of memorizing one list of scams. The concern that the lessons may become fear-based or obsolete deserves further study, but it should not affect today's vote. Possibilities not yet observed should not outweigh the stated aim to teach high school students and older adults practical online-scam verification habits. Later oversight can address any problem that emerges under the Digital Scam Education Act.
