Australian Court Allows X's 65 Posts of Assyrian Bishop Stabbing Video

May 13, 2024, 08:59 AM

An Australian Federal Court has ruled in favor of Elon Musk's social media company X, overturning a previous legal order that blocked the platform from hosting 65 posts with videos depicting the stabbing of an Assyrian church bishop in Sydney. The court's decision represents a significant win for Musk and X against the Australian eSafety Commission, which had sought to extend the injunction as part of its cyber safety efforts. The case has been widely viewed as a test of free speech and government censorship on digital platforms.
