An Australian judge has lifted a court order that required social platform X to hide a video showing the stabbing of an Assyrian Orthodox bishop in a Sydney church. The judge deemed it unreasonable for the country's internet safety watchdog to demand global censorship of the video.
The decision by Australian Federal Court Justice Geoffrey Kennett came after X, the social media platform owned by billionaire Elon Musk, refused to comply with the eSafety Commission's removal notice. While X geoblocked Australian users from viewing the video, the eSafety Commissioner wanted 65 URLs leading to the video removed from the platform entirely.
