An Australian court has ordered billionaire Elon Musk's social media platform to block every user from seeing violent footage related to a Sydney church stabbing, not just block it for Australian audiences. Amid political unity against X Corp's defiant stance to keep potentially harmful content online, the nation's internet cop launched the matter in the Federal Court on Monday evening.
X also branded the internet cop's move an "unlawful and dangerous approach". Marcus Hoyne, appearing for X Corp, urged the court to postpone the matter until he could seek "sensible and proper instructions" from his San Francisco-based client. The eSafety commissioner's court application was served at the last possible moment, Hoyne said.
