The eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, says global regulatory focus on Elon Musk’s X has reached a “tipping point” after a raid of the company’s offices in France this week. Inman Grant told Guardian Australia: “It’s nice to no longer be a soloist, and be part of a choir. Apple, which Inman Grant said had previously viewed privacy and safety as being mutually exclusive, had come the farthest. But Inman Grant said there was still inadequate detection on FaceTime for live child abuse or exploitation. Inman Grant said the transparency reports had opened the “black box” on what the companies were doing and would help with future investigations.
