The Reuters article[0] includes this tidbit:
> After taking the company private, Musk said in a post that "removing child exploitation is priority #1". But the Australian regulator said that when it asked X how it prevented child grooming on the platform, X responded that it was "not a service used by large numbers of young people".
A social network used by hundreds of millions of people, certainly including people under 18 (who it allows to sign up), should probably have a plan for fighting grooming.

- exodust 3y ago> "asked X how it prevented child grooming" Musk was referring to CSAM. Grooming is not the same as CSAM. To find grooming requires analysis of conversations over time, and knowing the victim is a child and offender is adult. A big difference not mentioned by Reuters. At least Reuters mentions the fact the Australian eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, is a former Twitter employee. I'm sure her condemnation of the platform is completely unbiased and she's only thinking of the children.
