Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant attends a press conference at Parliament House in Canberra, June 15, 2021. An Australian judge Monday, May 13, 2024, lifted a ban on the social media platform X showing Australians a video of a bishop being stabbed in a Sydney church.
“Not trying to win anything. I just don’t think we should be suppressing Australian’s rights to free speech," Musk posted on X after the ruling. Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones said the government might consider changing Australian law after reading Kennett’s reasons for removing his order that required X to hide the video from users. “There’s a fundamental principle at stake and that is, if you’re a company or anybody operating in Australia, then you’ve got to abide by Australian laws,” Jones said.
X has geoblocked Australian users from the content, but eSafety wants a worldwide ban on the video, which can be still accessed from Australia through VPNs.
