What’s behind the fight between Elon Musk’s X and Australia’s eSafety commissioner? video | Technology

Elon Musk is at war with Australia — in particular Australia’s online safety regulator — due to videos that were circulating on his platform after an alleged stabbing at a church in Sydney last week. After the eSafety commissioner requested all social media platforms to remove video of the stabbing from their platforms, X made the videos unavailable to view within Australia, but they’re still available to watch both outside of Australia. Now, X and the eSafety commissioner are fighting it out in court, while X’s owner Elon Musk continues to fight it out online.
