According to the report, Australian Electronic Security Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, who once worked on Twitter, said that 1/3 of Australia's current complaints about online hate speech come from Twitter platforms.

Grant pointed out that Twitter has 28 days to deal with the problem, and if Twitter does not solve the problem within 28 days, Australia will fine Twitter A $700,000 per day (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 3.409 million yuan).

Grant, who worked at Microsoft for 17 years, believes Twitter has made a serious mistake in dealing with hatred. CTOnews.com noted that this is not the first time Grant has publicly attacked Twitter. In November last year, Grant sent a letter to Twitter CEO Musk, worried that its massive layoffs might prevent the company from complying with Australian laws.
