An Australian judge has lifted a ban on the social media platform X showing Australians a video of a bishop being stabbed in a Sydney church.
The decision was a win for the company rebranded by billionaire Elon Musk when he bought Twitter last year. X is also taking a separate court action against eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant, a former Twitter employee, that challenges the validity of her notice requiring the platform to remove video of the April 15 attack in an Assyrian Orthodox church.Assistant treasurer Stephen Jones said the government might consider changing Australian law after reading Justice Kennett’s reasons for removing his order that required X to hide the video from users.
