The Irish Media Commission stated that the investigation will assess whether X adequately enforces age safeguards and provides sufficient protection for users under 16 when adult content is permitted. The regulator noted potential issues with X’s parental controls, including insufficient minimum requirements, difficulty in locating the features, and inadequate notification to new users. If X is found to be in violation of Ireland’s online safety regulations, the regulator may impose fines of up to €20 million or 10% of the company’s relevant annual revenue. (Source: ODAILY)
