Federal Court rules against X Corp for evading child sexual abuse transparency notice
On Friday, the Federal Court has ruled that Elon Musk’s X Corp, formerly Twitter, has to comply with an Australian child sexual abuse transparency notice that was issued early last year.
In February 2023, when the social media giant was still operating as Twitter, the Australian eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, issued X Corp an infringement notice because the company had not provided information about how it was meeting the basic online safety expectations in relation to child sexual exploitation and abuse material and activity on the app.
The notice required explanation for the period of January 2022 to January 2023.
