X fined A$650,000 plus A$100,000
The court ordered X to pay roughly A$650,000, plus another A$100,000 for legal costs, because it missed deadlines and sent incomplete information to regulators.
X blamed the delays on its company shake-up after Musk's takeover, but regulators say that not sharing information on time makes it harder to keep children safe online.
This case highlights rising tensions between tech giants and governments trying to hold them accountable.
