Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, criticized a court order in Australia requiring the removal of footage depicting a terrorist attack in Sydney. Musk expressed concern that allowing any country to censor content for all countries could lead to the entire internet being controlled by a single entity.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese responded by calling Musk an “arrogant billionaire” who believes himself to be above the law and common decency. Albanese emphasized that Australia would take action to address the matter.
Twitter stated that it had already blocked access to the posts in question for Australian users. The incident highlights ongoing tensions between governments and social media companies over content regulation and censorship.
