An Australian judge has lifted a ban on the social media platform X showing Australians a video of a bishop being stabbed in a Sydney church. The temporary ban was put in place on April 22, but the judge rejected the application from Australia’s eSafety Commission to extend the court order that would have expired Monday.

Australia ’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant attends a press conference at Parliament House in Canberra, June 15, 2021. An Australia n judge Monday, May 13, 2024, lifted a ban on the social media platform X showing Australia ns a video of a bishop being stabbed in a Sydney church.

Australian Federal Court Justice Geoffrey Kennett said he would publish his reasons for imposing and lifting the order later. “Not trying to win anything. I just don’t think we should be suppressing Australian’s rights to free speech,” Musk posted on X after the ruling. He also said the government supported Inman Grant’s stance on the video. “She made the right decision in our view to ensure that that dangerous, violent, harmful material wasn’t being propagated online and encouraging and inciting that sort of behavior here in Australia,” Jones told Australian Broadcasting Corp.X has geoblocked Australian users from the content, but eSafety wants a worldwide ban on the video, which can be still accessed from Australia through VPNs.
