Australia’s online safety watchdog has fined X — the social media platform formerly known as Twitter — 610,500 Australian dollars ($385,000) for failing to fully explain how it tackled child sexual exploitation content.
CANBERRA, Australia — Australia’s online safety watchdog said on Monday it had fined X — the social media platform formerly known as Twitter — 610,500 Australian dollars for failing to fully explain how it tackled child sexual exploitation content.
The commission issued legal transparency notices early this year to X and other platforms questioning what they were doing to tackle a proliferation of child sexual exploitation, sexual extortion and the livestreaming of child sexual abuse. X could challenge the fine in the Australian Federal Court. But the court could impose a fine of up to AU$780,000 per day since March when the commission first found the platform had not complied with the transparency notice.
