Twitter no longer exists, lawyers for the social network known as X have argued, and its successor cannot be held responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
The case against X Corp by Australia's eSafety Commission continued in Federal Court in Melbourne on Tuesday, as the social media company fought a $610,500 fine and the possibility of further penalties for non-compliance.
The eSafety Commissioner issued the fine to Twitter in October 2023, alleging it failed to adequately respond to questions about harmful content on its platform, particularly child sexual abuse material.
