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.
They refused to respond to an Australian government investigation. (Because Elon fired the two people who interfaced with Australia.)
The fine is not directly because they haven’t cracked down*, but because they couldn’t competently answer if they’re handling it at all.
(* and they’ve probably fired enough trust and safety people that they’re also having trouble there, but that’s not exactly what the fine is for.)
You mean a “💩” doesn’t count as a “reply”?
Wow, that’s so much! That’s like if I got fined $0.20 for that, since this is like 1/23,000 of their net worth…
Why would he meet safety expectations when his entire user base at this point are conservative NAZIs. He’d only be shooting himself in the foot if he alienated the remaining degenerates that use that shit platform.

Delusion just isn’t a river in Egypt.
Gonna block you now.
(Did I say that right? Seems that’s the entirety of your comment history, so you’d be the expert)
You should brush up on your not-being-a-pos-human skills.
Gonna block you now.
