X (formerly Twitter) has unsuccessfully challenged Australia's eSafety Commissioner's fine for allegedly failing to respond to questions about harmful content on its platform, particularly child sexual abuse material.

In short:

X (formerly Twitter) has unsuccessfully challenged Australia’s eSafety Commissioner’s fine for allegedly failing to respond to questions about harmful content on its platform, particularly child sexual abuse material.

The organisation argued Twitter stopped being a company when it merged with X Corp and any penalty process would need to be restarted.

What’s next?

X Corp will have to pay the fine and the commissioner’s court costs.

    Elon Musk is sick! There is no low he won’t stoop to, to avoid consequences of his actions.
    Even if Musk didn’t handle this directly, I bet he set the guidelines for it.
    Hopefully X will be banned soon in Australia and EU. Because it’s a toxic platform that only gets worse.

      Now, to be fair, to the letter X, the X-men are not evil.

    That fine is small change to X. The lawyers were probably in the same price range.

    Which does not mean the lawyers were too expensive, but the punishment was too low.
