X fined $610,500 in Australia first for failing to crack down on child
sexual abuse material
Company formerly known as Twitter becomes the first online platform to
be issued a fine under Australia's Online Safety Act
...
...
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.
In a report on the tech companies' responses to the notices, released
on Monday, the commissioner found many of the largest services were
failing to adequately detect, remove and prevent child abuse material.
