X Under Fire for Kids Safety | Belfast News

Ireland’s media regulator has launched its first official probe into Elon Musk’s X platform, scrutinizing whether it’s doing enough to protect kids from adult content under the new Online Safety Code. Authorities are focused on X’s age verification and parental controls, which they believe may be ineffective, poorly designed, or not properly communicated to users. With fines of up to 10% of annual revenue—or €20 million—on the table, the investigation will examine if X’s self-reported age checks are reliable and if its parental tools meet legal standards. Despite recent efforts to comply with EU and UK regulations—including using account data, email analysis, and future ID-based verification—X is now under intense scrutiny to prove it’s truly safeguarding minors online.
