Elon Musk accused Australia of censorship after an Australian judge ruled that X must block users from accessing video of a knife attack in a Sydney church.
I’ve just advised the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the national broadcaster here. No idea if it’s going to do anything.
I sent this:
X (twitter) is a signatory to the Christchurch Call set-up by Jacinta Adern. Signatories agree among other things to suppress the dissemination of terrorism. Nobody is talking about this.
I checked the Christchurch Call website which clearly shows Xitter as a member of the community that agreed to:
“Take transparent, specific measures seeking to prevent the upload of terrorist and violent extremist content and to prevent its dissemination on social media and similar content-sharing services, including its immediate and permanent removal, without prejudice to law enforcement and user appeals requirements, in a manner consistent with human rights and fundamental freedoms. Cooperative measures to achieve these outcomes may include technology development, the expansion and use of shared databases of hashes and URLs, and effective notice and takedown procedures.”

Well done! I hope it helps!
I’ve also just told the Guardian before realising that the former Prime Minister of New Zealand is called Jacinda Ardern.
The ABC just published this:
