Social media giant X Corp has been fined $650,000 after it failed to properly respond to an Australian safety notice about child sexual abuse material.
The Federal Court penalty, handed down on Thursday, comes more than three years after the eSafety Commissioner first issued the notice to the US-based company.
The February 2023 notice asked the company - known then as Twitter - to prepare a report on its compliance with basic online safety expectations around child sexual exploitation and abuse material.
