X and Google had not complied with transparency notices because both companies had failed to adequately respond to questions, a commissioner said.

Australia’s online safety watchdog has fined X, formerly known as Twitter, for failing to explain how it tackles child sexual exploitation on the social media platform

The commission issued legal transparency notices early this year to X and other platforms questioning what they were doing to tackle a proliferation of child sexual exploitation, sexual extortion and the livestreaming of child sexual abuse. X could challenge the fine in the Australian federal court. But the court could also impose a fine of up to 780,000 Australian dollars per day backdated to March, when the commission first found the platform had not complied with the transparency notice.
