An Australian regulator has fined Elon Musk's social media platform X A$610,500 ($386,000) for failing to cooperate with a probe into anti-child abuse practices, a blow to a company that has struggled to keep advertisers amid complaints it is going soft on moderating content.
“The Fediverse” is about 13,000 separate services that are each individually responsible for illegal content on their systems. Some probably aren’t doing a good enough job, but most of them are and they’ve mostly defederated the ones that fail to do so.
And why wouldn’t they? Many hands make light work and the fediverse has tens of thousands of moderators to deal with far fewer posts that the X network. Twitter had a decent moderation team once, but Musk has gutted the team.
