Court denies extension of order to block videos on Elon Musk’s social media platform #

An Australian court has refused to extend a temporary order that blocked videos of a Sydney church stabbing on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. The court denied a request from Australia’s online watchdog eSafety Commissioner to remove posts on X showing the violent attack of a priest in April. The incident had sparked a clash between Musk and the Australian government, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese accusing Musk of thinking he is “above Australian law.” The eSafety Commissioner argued that online safety requires platforms to minimize harm to users, while Musk defended free speech and questioned international censorship.
