Australia fines Musk's X

SYDNEY: Australia's internet safety watchdog on Monday fined Elon Musk's X, saying the social media platform had failed to show how it is cracking down on child sexual abuse content.

ESafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant has slapped an AU$610,500 ($385,000) fine on the company formerly known as Twitter, criticizing its "empty talk" on the issue. Inman Grant herself a former Twitter employee has also fired off a formal warning to Google for falling short of its responsibilities around tackling child abuse material.
