Australian PM Criticizes Musk's X for Not Removing Posts on Church Attacks

Apr 22, 2024, 08:10 AM

Elon Musk's social media platform, X, is currently in a legal dispute with an Australian watchdog over its refusal to remove posts related to the stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and a priest during a live-streamed service in Sydney. The incident, which saw the bishop slashed in the head and chest by a 16-year-old, has prompted significant backlash from Australian authorities, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who criticized the platform's decision as 'extraordinary'. Australian leaders have also labeled Musk as an 'egotistical billionaire' for challenging the cyber regulator's order and threatening legal action.
