Australian court rejects X Corp’s appeal in child safety case, orders legal costs

MELBOURNE: An Australian appeals court on Thursday ruled against X Corp., rejecting a challenge to a safety watchdog’s demands for details on how the Elon Musk -owned company was combating widespread child exploitation material on its platform.

Three federal court judges unanimously rejected X’s appeal against a federal court decision in October last year that the company was obliged to respond to a notice from eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant on child abuse material being shared on X, which is incorporated in Texas.
