Elon Musk's X loses Australia child protection compliance lawsuit
Summary
An Australian court upheld a regulator's fine against Elon Musk's social media company X Corp after it admitted violating the law by failing to supply information about its online child protection measures. The eSafety regulator fined the company in October 2023 for an inadequate response to a request for information about anti-child exploitation processes. The company resolved the dispute by admitting wrongdoing, with the court raising the payout to A$650,000 and ordering X to pay an additional A$100,000 in legal costs. The resolution comes as X is being folded into Musk's technology conglomerate SpaceX ahead of a planned initial public offering.
