Australia Takes Legal Action Against Elon Musk's X Over Violent Video

The Australian government seeks to remove a controversial video from X, citing public safety concerns, as tensions escalate between the tech billionaire and officials.

Elon Musk and the Australian government are embroiled in a legal battle over a video depicting a violent stabbing at a church in Sydney, which authorities claim has fueled riots and extremism.
Australia's e-safety commissioner has demanded the complete removal of the video from X, challenging Musk's stance on free speech and internet censorship.
Musk has responded defiantly, accusing Australian officials of overreach and attacking their motives, as the dispute garners global attention.
Recent raids and arrests linked to the video highlight the potential dangers of extremism, prompting urgent calls from Australian security officials for social media cooperation.
The Federal Court has intervened, issuing a temporary injunction requiring X to hide the contentious material, with further hearings scheduled for early May.
