Australia's censors went to war with X and demanded GLOBAL censorship of unapproved posts.

NTB Staff
· Apr 20, 2024 ·

Here's the statement from X's Global Governance department which Elon references.

The recent attacks in Australia are a horrific assault on free society. Our condolences go out to those who have been affected, and we stand with the Australian people in calling for those responsible to be brought to justice.

Following these events, the Australian eSafety Commissioner ordered X to remove certain posts in Australia that publicly commented on the recent attack against a Christian Bishop. These posts did not violate X's rules on violent speech.

X believes that eSafety's order was not within the scope of Australian law and we complied with the directive pending a legal challenge.

X has now received a demand from the eSafety Commissioner that X globally withhold these posts or face a daily fine of $785,000 AUD (about $500,000 USD).

Half a million dollars A DAY for not removing posts that do not violate Twitter's rules but hurt the Aussie's feels.

This was a tragic event and we do not allow people to praise it or call for further violence. There is a public conversation happening about the event, on X and across Australia, as is often the case when events of major public concern occur.

While X respects the right of a country to enforce its laws within its jurisdiction, the eSafety Commissioner does not have the authority to dictate what content X's users can see globally. We will robustly challenge this unlawful and dangerous approach in court.

Global takedown orders go against the very principles of a free and open internet and threaten free speech everywhere.

I think I speak for all freedom-loving Americans when I say:

Don't give those authoritarian Aussies a single penny! And don't take down a single post to please the censors!
Stand strong, Elon!

Sky News host Rowan Dean has blasted NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb after she urged people not to share misinformation on social media

Do you have a problem with that Bobby?

freediver,

Have you got a link please, to The Ministry of Truth ?

Just so that i can be sure, that the misinformation which NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb wants to censor [i.e. remove from scrutiny, by anyone], is,
......err, well you know, misinformation.

Because i want all information which i am exposed to, to be only properly authenticated,
.....by an official, ......government source.

scrutiny = = critical observation or examination.

authentic = = of undisputed origin or veracity; genuine.

e.g.
We already know, that ISLAM, is a peaceful religion.

And that ISLAMIC communities in Australia, are made up, of only people with a desire for peace,
to spread, throughout Australia.

That is why, ISLAM has not been declared a proscribed group, here, in Australia.

This is because a shock discovery of violent poms in gangs has led to English being a proscribed ethnic sect. Poms are now illegal and outlaws. God save the King.

Big Brother

David Bowie

Don't talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don't live for last year's capers
Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulses unreal

He'll build a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem
He'll build a better whirlpool
We'll be living from sin, then we can really begin

Please savior, savior, show us
Hear me, I'm graphically yours

Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you

We want you Big Brother, Big Brother

I know you think you're awful square
But you made everyone and you've been every where
Lord, I think you'd overdose if you knew what's going down

Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool, someone like you
We want you Big Brother

David Bowie - 1984.

[Verse 1]
Someday they won't let you
Now you must agree
The times they are a-telling
Changing isn't free
You've read it in the papers, tracks are on TV
Beware the savage jaw of 1984

They'll split your pretty cranium, fill it full of air
Tell that you're eighty, brother, you won't care
You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there
Beware the savage jaw of 1984

[Chorus]
Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore)
(Mor-or-or-or-ore)

[Verse 2]
I'm looking for a vehicle,looking for a ride
Looking for a party, looking for a side
Looking for the reason that I knew in '65
Beware the savage jaw of 1984

Elon Musk hits back at Australian court order against X images of stabbing

The Tesla billionaire uses posts on his social media platform to attack Anthony Albanese and the eSafety commissioner

Elon Musk has hit back at the Australian internet watchdog’s attempts to force his social media platform X into blocking users from seeing violent footage relating to the Sydney church stabbing.

The American billionaire posted on his personal X account a cartoon showing the platform as a Wizard of Oz-style path to “freedom” and “truth” with a darker, alternative path to “censorship” and “propaganda”.

Above the cartoon Musk has written the message: “Don’t take my word for it, just ask the Australian PM!”

Elon Musk

Our concern is that if ANY country is allowed to censor content for ALL countries,
which is what the Australian “eSafety Commissar” is demanding,
then what is to stop any country from controlling the entire Internet?

We have already censored the content in question for Australia,
pending legal appeal, and it is stored only on servers in the USA.
