eSafety Commissioner and how far into cyberspace the internet cop should be allowed to reach is due to return to court.
Blocking clips of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel's April 15 stabbing to Australian web users was enough, X has argued.But eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, backed by a rare united front of Australian politicians, wants the "extreme violent video content" deleted from servers as other social media platforms have done.
The eSafety Commissioner is due to ask the Federal Court on Wednesday to extend the order and set up a final hearing to debate a proposed permanent takedown order and civil penalties against X Corp.The office says it might be difficult to eradicate damaging content from the internet entirely but platforms are required to do everything "practical and reasonable" to minimise the harm it might cause to Australians and the Australian community.
