Australian Court Allows Global Access to 65 Posts of X's Church Stabbing Videos
May 13, 2024, 10:16 AM
In a significant legal decision, an Australian Federal Court has ruled against the eSafety Commissioner's request to extend a temporary order that would have compelled Elon Musk's social media platform X to block 65 posts with videos depicting the stabbing of a Sydney church bishop. This case, which has been widely regarded as a test of free speech principles, saw the judge reject the extension without providing detailed reasons, allowing Australians and global viewers to access the videos. The incident, described by authorities as a terrorist attack, involved the stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, an Assyrian church leader.
