X, formerly Twitter, says it will fight Australia's online safety regulator over an order to take down posts after a church bishop was stabbed in Sydney.

Social media platform X has pledged to fight Australia's online safety watchdog over posts about a stabbing at a western Sydney church . The platform's Global Government Affairs team on Saturday said Australia's eSafety Commissioner had ordered it to remove posts that commented on the attack. But they said the posts did not violate X's rules on violent speech.

" The commissioner has only said it was considering whether further regulatory action was warranted, after it put social media platforms on notice to remove graphic content showing recent violence in Sydney. Calls have grown for harsher sanctions for social media platforms in the wake of the 13 April shopping centre massacre at Bondi after distressing footage of the attack was uploaded online and misinformation spread.
