The Australian regulator has fined Elon Musk’s social network 𝕏 (Twitter) $386,000 for refusing to cooperate with an investigation into child abuse.
According to Ukrinform’s news, Reuters writes about this.
The Cyber Security Commission is said to have penalized the social network for failing to respond to questions about child exploitation material and the methods it uses to detect it.
“The only reason you won’t answer important questions about illegal content and behavior on platforms is because you don’t have answers,” said Inman Grant, who served as director of public policy at 𝕏 until 2016.
