X acuză Australia că încearcă să extindă puterile autorității de reglementare a internetului și critică legea privind rețelele sociale

Platform X, owned by Elon Musk, criticizes the Australian government for attempting to grant excessive powers to internet regulators regarding social media access for minors. The company argues that the new law conflicts with international legislation and American rights. The law, effective since December, prohibits under-16s from having social media accounts and has faced backlash from tech firms. X contests proposed expansions of the eSafety Commissioner's authority to request documents and impose fines, claiming it violates international legal principles. Elon Musk previously condemned the law as a means to control internet access for all Australians. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress has raised concerns about free speech implications.
