Elon Musk's X platform cannot be subjected to two different sets of online safety regulations at once, a court has ruled.
Australia's eSafety Commissioner had claimed X and other social media platforms were more correctly regulated under a standard broader than the pre-existing social media services code.
However, the Federal Court ruled on Wednesday that online safety legislation was specifically drafted to rule out a platform being defined as both a "social media service" and a "relevant electronic service".
