Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is leading a charge against social media platform X, as the eSafety Commissioner fights to have 'graphic and violent' footage removed from it.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has branded Elon Musk "arrogant" after the billionaire appeared to thumb his nose at new court action taken by Australia's eSafety Commissioner. His social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, was ordered late on Monday to block all users from violent footage related to an alleged terror attack by a 16-year-old boy in a western Sydney church on 15 April.
Graphic footage of a man rampaging through Sydney's Bondi Junction shopping centre just days earlier, killing six people, also spread online. Over the weekend, X said it had complied with removal orders but argued against a global takedown , saying the eSafety Commissioner had no authority. In the Federal Court, the commissioner urgently applied to suppress the footage on specific URLs.
