X, the company formerly known as Twitter, has become the first online platform to be issued with a $610,500 fine under Australia’s Online Safety Act for its failure to meet basic online safety expectations.
X has 28 days to either pay the fine, issued by the e-safety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, or provide responses to questions X ignored from the commissioner on its work to crack down on child sexual abuse material on the platform.
The legal notices were issued to X, Google, TikTok, Twitch and Discord in February following the first round of notices sent to Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Snap and Omegle last year.
You see, you gotta do some math here.
First when Twitter was Twitter, they still had csam issues but they had some people that were there to at least take care of some of them.
And then elon fired some people, so now there are even less people who could take care of csam issues.
So…?
It’s impossible to tell, because they fired all the people who were counting.
