Elon Musk’s X calls for delay in Australia’s child social media ban citing ‘serious concerns’ about policy’s lawfulness

Elon Musk's X platform has called for a delay in the implementation of Australia's new social media ban for under-16s, citing "serious concerns" about the policy's lawfulness. In a submission to the age verification inquiry, X argued that the "punitive" law could infringe on human rights treaties. The platform requested a grace period before the law is enforced, scheduled for December 10th. X was one of several companies the eSafety commissioner contacted earlier this month, seeking their views on the upcoming ban. The article notes that further updates on the situation can be found in the Australia news live blog.
