Australian Court Backs Musk's X on 65 Posts of Assyrian Bishop Stabbing Video
May 13, 2024, 07:00 AM
Elon Musk's social media company, X, has won a significant legal battle in Australia, where the Federal Court overturned a temporary order that had blocked the platform from showing 65 posts with videos of a stabbing incident at a Sydney church involving Assyrian Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel. The Australian eSafety Commission had sought to extend the ban, labeling the incident as a terrorist attack. However, the court ruled in favor of X, citing concerns over freedom of speech. This decision marks a notable victory for Musk and his firm against what he has described as government overreach.
