Arr, a scallywag judge from the lands down under be tellin' the social media platform X they can't be sharin' videos of a bishop gettin' stabbed! But X be fightin' back like a fierce sea dog in court, ready to make a stand for their right to post what they please!
In a land down under, an Australian judge extended a ban on X, preventing the sharing of a video showing the stabbing of a Sydney bishop in his church. The attack led to terrorism charges for the alleged attacker, a teenager, and sparked a riot outside the church.X Corp., owned by Elon Musk, is fighting against Australia's eSafety Commission to keep the graphic video online, claiming it's a matter of free speech. However, the commission argues that X is a "market leader in proliferating and distributing violent content."The court will decide on Monday whether the ban should continue, with Musk accusing Australia of censorship. The eSafety Commission wants a global ban on the video, as it can still be accessed in Australia through Virtual Private Networks.X's lawyer argued that the company has tried to block the content from Australian users but faced glitches, calling the demand for a global ban astonishing. The legal battle continues as X stands firm on its stance on free speech while Australia pushes for stricter regulations.
