Social media platform X has hit back at calls from the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant to remove videos of the alleged Wakeley stabbing, arguing it has “complied with the notice” by restricting the posts in Australia.
Social media platform X has hit back at the Australian government’s push for videos of the alleged Wakeley stabbing to be removed from the site.
In a statement released on Thursday evening, X took issue with eSafety’s demand and said its legal challenge was focused on two key issues. “Second, we oppose the demand to globally remove this content from X, as we believe that no government should possess such authority.” Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant is at odds with social media giant X on the alleged Wakeley stabbing video.

“We can’t pretend that Australia can dictate to other countries around the world what people see within their countries,” he said. “This argument that he’s trying to conflate it with everything happening in the world is just a bit of magician’s trickery.”"I do acknowledge the Australian government’s desire to have the videos removed because of their graphic nature," he said in a video.
