The eSafety Commissioner has "issued a legal notice to Twitter seeking information about what the social media giant is doing to tackle online hate on the platform", after it received "more complaints about online hate on Twitter in the past 12 months than any other platform and has received an increasing number of reports of serious online abuse since Elon Musk's takeover". According to the commissioner, Julie Inman-Grant, "a third of all complaints about online hate reported to us are now happening on Twitter". I would love to see that legal notice and I bet Twitter will ignore it. There are fines of up to $700,000/day for not responding, but who will eSafety issue the fine to? Twitter Australia does not exist.
