Australian PM Scolds 'Arrogant' Musk Over Stabbing Videos On X

On Monday evening in an urgent last-minute federal court hearing, the court ordered a two-day injunction against X to hide posts globally containing the footage of the alleged stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel on 15 April. The eSafety commissioner had directed X to remove the posts, but X had only blocked them from access in Australia pending a legal challenge.

Anthony Albanese on Tuesday said Musk was "a bloke who's chosen ego and showing violence over common sense". He told Sky News: "I think that Australians will shake their head when they think that this billionaire is prepared to go to court fighting for the right to sow division and to show violent videos. He is in social media, but he has a social responsibility in order to have that social licence."
