231019 推特改名后又惹风波:因“打击虐童不力”被罚款?
▍原文
Australia internet safety watchdog has slapped a A$610,500 fine on Elon Musk's X for failing to cooperate with a probe into anti-child abuse practices.
It comes after Mr Musk in a post last November said that "removing child exploitation is priority #1".
The eSafety Commission criticised the firm's "empty talk" on the issue.
