𝕏 wins lawsuit against Australia’s eSafety Commissioner. Elon Musk’s 𝕏 has secured a major victory in Australia’s Federal Court.
The eSafety Commissioner argued that 𝕏 should be regulated under two separate online safety systems because the platform offers DMs and encrypted chat, potentially subjecting it to stricter requirements and penalties of up to A$49.5 million.
Justice Elizabeth Raper rejected that argument, ruling that 𝕏 cannot be classified as both a “social media service” and a “relevant electronic service.”
A major win for 𝕏 against regulatory overreach.
