Social media platform X says it has complied with Australian federal court orders to remove footage of the Wakeley church stabbing, even as the video itself appeared in a post directly below the announcement, visible to users in Australia.
The company says it complied with the law by “restricting” some posts for Australian users. It also argues that the posts should not have been banned in Australia at all, and that the Australian government should not be able to censor what users posted in other countries.
