Australian court upholds $465,000 fine against Elon Musk’s X
An Australian federal court upheld on Thursday a fine against Elon Musk’s X for failing to comply with child internet safety regulations, capping a three year legal fight between the tech giant and Canberra.
Under Australian law, internet regulator eSafety can fine firms that do not respond to demands for detailed information on how they are keeping children safe online.
eSafety approached what was then Twitter in February 2023, demanding the company explain how it was tackling the spread of child sexual abuse content.
