Elon Musk, owner of social media platform X, clashed with Australia over a violent video of a church attack. An Australian court ordered X to remove it.
Musk argued X blocked the video in Australia but worried Australia’s demand could set a dangerous precedent for internet control.
Australia’s Prime Minister fired back, calling Musk an arrogant billionaire. They believe the video could worsen tensions in a community impacted by war.
Australia’s “Online Safety Act” holds social media companies accountable for content. This has caused friction with X, especially since Musk’s takeover.
The fight continues as a court decides the video’s fate and Australia pursues removal on other platforms.
