Elon Musk's X Faces Legal Setbacks in Australia and Brazil

X Corp struggles with fines and compliance issues in Australia and Brazil, impacting its operations and reputation.

  • X Corp, formerly Twitter, must pay a $418,000 fine in Australia for failing to comply with child safety regulations.
  • An Australian court rejected X's argument that it was not liable for the fine due to its merger with Twitter.
  • X also faces challenges in Brazil, where it mistakenly paid $5.2 million in fines to the wrong bank account.
  • The Brazilian Supreme Court has delayed the decision to lift X's suspension until the fines are correctly paid.
  • The legal battles highlight ongoing tensions between X and international regulatory bodies over content moderation and compliance.
