Ireland's Media Commission has opened an investigation into X's age-verification system and parental controls, focusing on whether the platform adequately protects users younger than 16 while allowing adult content. The regulator is also examining whether parental-control tools fall below minimum requirements, are difficult to locate, or are not clearly presented to new users. If X is found to breach Ireland's cybersecurity laws, it could face a fine of up to €20 million or 10% of relevant annual revenue, Semafor reported.
