Shadow Home Affairs Minister James Paterson says X “should comply” with Australian legislation as the country can decide what its “permissible limits of free speech” are.
X owner Elon Musk has taken another swipe at the Australian government, saying, ‘The Australian people want the truth. X is the only one standing up for their rights.’
It follows the Federal Court ordering the social media platform to remove footage of last week’s Sydney church stabbing.
“Elected or unelected, I don’t want foreign governments deciding what Australians can access on X or any other social media platform, particularly I don’t want authoritarian governments requiring Twitter or X or any other company to take down things,” Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia.
X ‘should comply’ with Australian legislation: James Paterson
“It’s for democracies to decide what’s accessible within our own borders and what our permissible limits of free speech are.
“We’ve done so; we’ve passed legislation; X should comply with that.”
