eSafety Commissioner and X talked about online hate speech and what X is going to do about it

The Guardian submitted an FoI to see communications between Twitter/X and the eSafety Commissioner and discovered that the commissioner wanted to chat with X about the upcoming Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum, regarding what X is going to do about "hate speech" pre and post the vote. X unsurprisingly "had not substantially responded to the concerns raised by the regulator", but what was more interesting in the FoI is that X did respond to an earlier legal notice from the commissioner (punishable by a max $700k/day fine if they don't respond in 28 days) about hate speech overall. eSafety said they'll publish a summary of X's response, but I'm surprised they bothered to respond at all.
