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 some posts that commented on the attack. But it said the posts did not violate X’s rules on violent speech. The platform claimed the Australian regulator had demanded X “globally withhold these posts or face a daily fine of $785,000”.
” Calls have grown for harsher sanctions for social media platforms in the wake of the April 13 shopping centre massacre at Bondi after distressing footage of the attack was uploaded online and misinformation spread. NSW Premier Chris Minns said X had shown “disregard for the information that they pump into our communities”. “Then when things go wrong, throwing their hands up in the air to say that they’re not prepared to do anything about it,” he told reporters.
