Elon Musk's X fights Australian watchdog over church stabbing posts
==========

Elon Musk's X is challenging an Australian watchdog's order to remove content related to the stabbing of a priest during a live-streamed church service in Sydney. The social media platform complied with an initial directive to remove certain posts in Australia, but later received a demand to globally withhold the posts. X said it would robustly challenge the demand in court, arguing that the eSafety Commissioner does not have the authority to dictate global content bans. The posts in question, which showed the brutal attack, have been blamed for fueling tensions in the community. The eSafety watchdog is working to ensure X's compliance with Australian law and is considering further regulatory action. New South Wales Premier Chris Minns criticized X's response, calling for stronger rules governing social media companies.
