An inquiry hears criticism of X Corp’s approach to online safety, with witnesses alleging the company shows greater willingness to fight for the retention of harmful content than to address other types of harmful material. According to the accounts, X Corp contested efforts to remove footage involving deceased victims of the Bondi attack, arguing against takedown or restriction. The inquiry also compares that conduct with X Corp’s actions related to anti-Semitism, with critics alleging the company shows less urgency or effort in combating anti-Jewish content. The submissions reportedly characterise X Corp’s conduct as reflecting a “complete lack of interest” in online safety. The reports do not provide detailed procedural outcomes in the excerpted material, but they state that the inquiry considers the company’s responses to different categories of content and the level of resistance or cooperation during removal or moderation efforts. The inquiry is framed around how platform operators respond to safety concerns, including content involving deceased individuals and hate-related material.
