X, the company formerly known as Twitter, has become the first online platform to be issued with a $610,500 fine under Australia’s Online Safety Act for its failure to meet basic online safety expectations.
X has 28 days to either pay the fine, issued by the e-safety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, or provide responses to questions X ignored from the commissioner on its work to crack down on child sexual abuse material on the platform.
The legal notices were issued to X, Google, TikTok, Twitch and Discord in February following the first round of notices sent to Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Snap and Omegle last year.
Kinda funny since I’ve never had a Twitter or x account but I do have a pemmy account. Obv anecdotal but still
I think it is safe to assume that the percentage of Lemmy users that actively use/d Twitter is quite low. Even Reddit was dominated by anti-Twitter/Meta sentiment, which has been further concentrated here.
The only mainstream platform I would say a large percentage of Lemmings use would be LinkedIn, and even then it’s recognised as a necessary evil rather than an additive service.
