In April 2024, Australia’s social media landscape was disrupted by two violent incidents in Sydney. The first involved a stabbing attack at the Bondi Junction Westfield shopping mall, where social media wrongly identified the assailant as a young Jewish university student. The second incident was the live-streamed stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at an Assyrian Church of Christ in south-western Sydney.<br /><br />Australia’s eSafety Commissioner ordered X to remove graphic videos of the church stabbing from its site. While X complied with the directive to delete the content from its Australian sites, it rejected the call for a global takedown. As a result, X risks fines of AUD$782,500 per day for non-compliance1.<br /><br />Elon Musk, X’s CEO, mocked the Commissioner as “the Australian Censorship Commissar” and portrayed X as a champion of free speech and truth. Musk’s self-proclaimed stance as a “free speech warrior” has been inconsistent with his conduct towards critics of X, but it aligns with his global branding of X as “anti-woke” and has led to him being described as "the second most important person in MAGA"2.<br /><br />The battle between X and the Australian government highlights the delicate balance between free speech absolutism and safeguarding users from violent content. It also underscores the challenges faced by regulators in an increasingly polarized online environment<br /><br />Join this channel to get access to perks:<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtj7iOlW_b8phoC8S4jojfg/join" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtj7iOlW_b8phoC8S4jojfg/join</a><br /><br />Welcome to the #Law, #News and #Laughter Podcast - A daily dosing of law and laughter looking at news and current affairs from Australia and around the world. <br /><br />Links:<br />MEMBERSHIPS: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtj7iOlW_b8phoC8S4jojfg?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtj7iOlW_b8phoC8S4jojfg?sub_confirmation=1</a><br />RUMBLE: <a href="https://rumble.com/user/AussieOverlawd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://rumble.com/user/AussieOverlawd</a><br />TWITTER: <a href="https://twitter.com/AussieOverLawd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/AussieOverLawd</a><br />LOCALS: <a href="http://aussieoverlawd.locals.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://aussieoverlawd.locals.com</a><br /><br />EQUIRIES EMAIL: [email protected]<br />*********************<br /><br />For Post: <br />PO Box 7260 <br />POINT COOK VIC 3030 <br />AUSTRALIA<br /><br />Or :<br />4283 Express Lane<br />Suite 9838-551<br />Sarasota, FL 34249 USA<br /><br />The content presented in any form, such as videos, posts, documents, etc., on this YouTube channel is intended strictly for entertainment, commentary, information, education, and discussion purposes.
