The Australian eSafety commissioner took the matter to the Federal Court after X Corp challenged a $610,500 fine in September 2023.

The fine stemmed from an infringement notice issued by eSafety because X Corp had not provided information about how it was meeting the basic online safety expectations in relation to child sexual exploitation and abuse material and activity on Twitter.

In a 30-second hearing at the Federal Court in Melbourne on Friday, Justice Michael Wheelahan dismissed the proceeding and order X Corp to pay eSafety’s legal costs.

    If he is on course to destroy Twitter, getting it eventually banned is the way.

      Math checks out. $650,000 / $260,000,000,000 = 0.0000025 0.0000025 * $80,000 = $0.20

      I’ve paid more to swear jars over a single utterance of the ‘s’ word.

      Blackmail recordings of things that they think would destroy their lives, almost definitely - and sadly, quite a large chunk of that is very likely to be paedophilia related.

      Allegedly he got Viktor Orbán with a video of him accepting a suitcase of money from drug dealers, but also there’s rumors about why he’s hiding Gáspár Orbán (his son) from publicity. Some think they have evindence on him being gay, I think it might be something more serious.
