Australian politicians go into ‘complete meltdown’ over Elon Musk’s censorship pushback

Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton has criticised Australian politicians who went into a “complete meltdown” after X owner Elon Musk refused to take down a video of a violent stabbing.

eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant took X to court after she issued an order to have videos and images of the violent attack removed from the internet, but the platform did not comply.

X has restricted the video in Australia; however, government lawyers argued the video can still be viewed overseas or domestically via a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek and Senator Jacqui Lambie both hit out at X and its owner over their decision.

The Prime Minister also called out the billionaire’s “ego”.

The main victim of the stabbing, Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, came out after the alleged attack to say he is “not against” the video remaining on social media.

“When the primary victim in the case doesn’t want it censored, what on earth are these politicians doing?” Mr Houghton said.

Can you believe Albo actually mentioned “division” in relation to this fiasco? Albo is the king of division as he proved overwhelmingly with the Voice

Censorship is lying by omission.
If you are advocating for censorship of any kind, you need to ask yourself what you’re trying to hide, and why you want it hidden.
