# Ireland’s media watchdog, acting on behalf of the European Union, has warned Elon Musk’s social network X it must enact rules to restrict children’s access to adult content by today or face action. The regulator is tasked with overseeing compliance by tech giants including X, Meta and TikTok, which all have European headquarters in Dublin. An Online Safety Code was adopted in October introducing binding rules to protect users from harmful content. Platforms were given nine months before the more detailed provisions of the code came into force.
