Australia's cyber safety regulator has decided to drop a legal challenge against Elon Musk's social media platform, X, over the removal of videos showing the stabbing of an Assyrian church bishop in Sydney. The decision comes after a federal court setback last month when the eSafety commissioner's bid to extend a temporary order to block the videos was rejected. The commissioner expressed concerns about the accessibility of graphic violent content online, especially to children, and originally requested X to remove the video to prevent it from inciting further harm in the community. The legal dispute led to heated exchanges between Musk and senior Australian officials, with Musk objecting to the removal of the video and criticizing the regulatory order as censorship.
