In a significant legal decision, the Federal Court of Australia overturned a temporary order by the eSafety commissioner that had blocked Australians from viewing videos of a stabbing attack on a Sydney bishop, which authorities labeled as a terrorist act. This court ruling represents a victory for Elon Musk's social media company, X, against the Australian government's attempt to regulate the content. The order was initially placed to prevent the dissemination of the video, citing public safety concerns.
