X fails to avoid Australia child safety fine by arguing Twitter doesn’t exist


Elon Musk merging Twitter into X didn’t absolve X from child safety fine.

In the press release, eSafety confirmed that the commission "takes compliance with transparency notices seriously and looks forward to ensuring alleged non-compliance is adequately addressed." According to an Australian government review of the Online Safety Act, X could owe civil penalties up to approximately $530,000 for failing to comply with the reporting notice, potentially more than doubling its costs after fighting the initial fine. Inman Grant reiterated Friday that eSafety is not just targeting X, but all Big Tech platforms failing to be transparent about steps taken to respond to CSAM.
