Australia Drops Legal Action Against X Over Stabbing Vid

Jun 5, 2024, 05:27 AM

Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant has decided to drop the legal action against social media platform X. The legal action was initially aimed at compelling X to remove a video depicting a stabbing incident at Wakeley church. X has responded to the decision by stating that 'free speech has prevailed'. The Australian watchdog had been in a court fight with X over the presence of violent posts, including a stabbing vid, on the platform.
