Australian eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant Drops Legal Case Against X Over Stabbing Videos
Jun 5, 2024, 03:16 AM
The Australian eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman-Grant, has dropped her legal pursuit against Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The case was initially filed to compel X to remove videos depicting an alleged stabbing at a church in Wakeley, Sydney. The decision follows a series of setbacks in federal court, including a recent rejection of the eSafety Commissioner's application to extend an injunction that would have forced X to continue blocking the content. Meta, another social media platform, complied with the censorship orders. The move has sparked discussions on the balance between free speech and content regulation on social media platforms.
