Australia's eSafety Commissioner announced on Wednesday that she has decided to drop her Federal Court case against X Corp, which aimed to compel the platform to remove a video showing a Sydney bishop being stabbed. However, the legal action will continue in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal against the platform, which was rebranded in 2023 after being acquired by Elon Musk.
The eSafety Commissioner cited cost as a factor in consolidating the legal action against X in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. She emphasized the importance of testing key questions through an independent review process.
