    We welcome the news that the eSafety Commissioner is no longer pursuing legal action against X seeking the global removal of content that does not violate X's rules. This case has raised important questions on how legal powers can be used to threaten global censorship of speech,

    Big W for @elonmusk wonder how much we paid for the eSafety Comissioner to find out she's not the commissioner of the internet.

    @elonmusk So is the rule of law from billionaires who don't think it applies to them.
  • @maxwalden_ Max Walden on x
    Why has X censored accounts and posts at the behest of authoritarian governments in Turkey, India and probably elsewhere?
  • @stevenmackeyman Steven Mackey on x
    Thank you for proving your commitment to free speech yet again. You are serving humanity.

    @GlobalAffairs Good news, bad news. Its a double edged sword. She is now going to test her power via the AAT commission. This commission is saturated with extremist left wingers who will love nothing more then to censor Australians. They regularly overturn deportation orders allo…

    This was fairly predictable, we said so some time ago. But those proceedings are not over. The issue of legal costs in favour of X looms large. We would estimate they would be at least $200,000, possibly a fair bit more. Hopefully @X will apply for and get indemnity costs.

    @GlobalAffairs As an Australian tax payer, I have some serious questions about the eSafety Commissioner and their overreach. What are you doing about this issue @AlboMP ?

    Impressive. Stared down a five eyes foreign government agency and won. Other companies would have buckled.

    Australia drops case against X over stabbing videos - BBC. What an awful story. You can't help but wonder about this ‘freedom of speech at all and any costs’ that Musk espouses. https://www.bbc.com/...

    @GlobalAffairs Who is eSafety Commissioner and why would we listen to them anyway?
  • @storment123 Jeff Storment on x
    @GlobalAffairs Remember all other Social Media... “Just Followed Orders"and removed the content illegally. Thank you @elonmusk and the X team!!
