Australian political leaders are locked in a war of words with American billionaire Elon Musk after eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant ordered the platform takedown footage of a Sydney terror incident that occurred on April 15.
X said it had geo-blocked the content in Australia, but refuses to comply with a global takedown order, saying such a move would violate freedom of speech and was beyond the jurisdiction of local authorities. The social media platform says it has launched legal action against the order.
However, on April 22, the eSafety commissioner won a two-day injunction in the Federal Court ordering X to remove the posts for all users globally. The Big Tech company has two days to challenge the order.

There he goes again – The PM is still arguing for censorship, this time by invoking the fight against ‘misinformation’. The problem here is that so often claims of misinformation are used to demonise, stigmatise, and suppress views that people merely disagree with.

Spot on. Albo’s Ministry of Truth will be used to control citizens and companys, and entrench power in the government.
