Elon Musk’s big legal loss to Australia
au.news.yahoo.com
A court has ruled on whether the Elon Musk-owned X Corp must comply with an infringement notice issued when the company was called Twitter.

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.

    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.
