Australia's cyber regulator calls on Twitter to detail its handling of online child abuse material which it says has picked up on the site since Musk's takeover and subsequent job losses, including content moderation roles.
SYDNEY, Australia – An Australian cyber regulator on Thursday, June 22, said it has demanded Twitter explain its handling of online hate as the microblog has become the country’s most complained-about platform since new owner Elon Musk lifted bans on a reported 62,000 accounts.
Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said she has sent a legal notice to Twitter demanding an explanation after one-third of all complaints she received about online hate concerned Twitter, even though the platform has far fewer users than TikTok or Meta’s Facebook and Instagram. Twitter must respond to the eSafety Commissioner within 28 days or face a fine of nearly A$700,000 per day. It declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
