The Facts

  • Australian eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant has dropped her order against social media company X to take down the video of the stabbing of Christ The Good Shepherd Church Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel.

  • Australian eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant has dropped her order against Elon Musk's X to take down video footage of the stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel in Sydney. Inman-Grant previously argued the video could incite further violence.


The Spin

The only person who feels this is a win is Elon Musk, who is in the minority among other social media companies who chose to remove the violent video. Until the Appeals Tribunal makes its final decision, Musk and his platform will continue to put the world at risk of further violence. The eSafety Commissioner's job is to keep Australians safe, and she which is why her legal fight is not over.
