An Australian court has ruled that Elon Musk’s social media platform X must pay an A$610,500 ($418,100) fine levied by a watchdog over its failure to adequately respond to queries about its effort to eradicate child abuse content. In Australia, all social media companies must be able to explain how they are meeting basic requirements for online safety, as outlined by the Government. Musk’s company had submitted a petition to have the fine wiped, but a judge on Friday, October 4 ordered that they pay all proceedings. X argued that it was not bound to respond to a notice issued by the Australian government to Twitter after Musk bought the site and rolled it into a new corporate entity, thus removing liability. “Had X Corp’s argument been accepted by the Court it could have set the concerning precedent that a foreign company’s merger with another foreign company might enable it to avoid regulatory obligations in Australia,” eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said in a statement. The Federal Court has today ruled X Corp.
