The company is facing complaints it is going soft on content moderation.
SYDNEY: An Australian regulator has fined Elon Musk’s social media platform X A$610,500 for failing to cooperate with a probe into anti-child abuse practices, a blow to a company that has struggled to keep advertisers amid complaints it is going soft on moderating content.
Most recently the EU said it was investigating X for potential violation of its new tech rules after the platform was accused of failing to rein in disinformation in relation to Hamas’ attack on Israel. X closed its Australian office after Musk’s buyout, so there was no local representative to respond to Reuters.
But the Australian regulator said that when it asked X how it prevented child grooming on the platform, X responded that it was “not a service used by large numbers of young people”. X’s noncompliance was more serious, the regulator said, including failure to answer questions about how long it took to respond to reports of child abuse, steps it took to detect child abuse in live streams and its numbers of content moderation, safety and public policy staff.
