Australia's eSafety commissioner on Sunday fined X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, 610,500 Australian dollars, over $380,000 U.S., for failing to properly disclose information about how it polices child abuse content.
The legislation requires online service providers to report how they crack down on child abuse content on their platforms.
The notices had specific questions for the companies to answer about how they handle child exploitation content.
According to the eSafety commissioner, X did not answer many of the questions and left "some sections entirely blank."
It said it found "serious shortfalls" in how child abuse content is policed on the five platforms it filed legal notices to.
