X Corp challenges Australia's online safety laws in Federal Court
By
Tom Wark
Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Elon Musk's X Corp is legally challenging Australia's online safety regulations, arguing that the country's eSafety Commissioner is overreaching and that the landmark safety laws do not apply to its platform. The case, brought in the Federal Court, centers on whether X must comply with Australian content moderation rules, with X claiming the regulator is trying to "have her cake and eat it too." The legal battle involves Julie Inman Grant's office and represents a significant test of Australia's online safety framework against a major global tech platform.
