Elon Musk'S X Fined A$610,500 over Non-Compliance in Child-Abuse Probe


credit:

Elon Musk's new social media platform, X, has been hit with a $386,000 fine for failing to cooperate with an investigation into its anti-child abuse practices.

The Australian e-Safety Commission imposed the fine after X failed to respond to questions regarding its handling of reports of child abuse material and the methods it used to detect such content, Reuters reports.

The commission also issued a warning to Google for noncompliance with its request for information on handling child abuse content, deeming some of Google's responses "'generic.'' Google expressed its disappointment with the warning and affirmed its commitment to collaborating on online safety.

X's noncompliance with the regulator's requests was deemed more serious, as it failed to answer questions about its response time to child abuse reports, its efforts to detect abuse in live streams, and its staffing numbers for content moderation, safety, and public policy.

The platform asserted that it was "not a service used by large numbers of young people" when asked about its efforts to prevent child grooming.

X also stated that the available anti-grooming technology was not sufficiently capable or accurate for deployment on the platform.
