Mental Health, News & Politics, Social Media

Australia’s Federal Court has granted the eSafety commissioner a two-day legal injunction to compel X, Elon Musk’s social media platform, to hide posts showing graphic content of the Wakeley church stabbing in Sydney.

Musk has criticised the eSafety commissioner for what he has described as censorship and ‘global content bans.

Should X choose not to comply with the orders of the eSafety commissioner, it could be fined up to $550,000 or have their links removed from search engines.
