Australia fines Elon Musk's X $386,000 over anti-child abuse gaps

The Hindu  

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. Inman Grant said the commission also issued a warning to Alphabet's Google for noncompliance with its request for information about handling of child abuse content, calling the search engine giant's responses to some questions "generic". 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 livestreams and its numbers of content moderation, safety and public policy staff. X told the regulator its proactive detection of child abuse material in public posts dropped after Musk took the company private.
