After the eSafety commissioner requested all social media platforms to remove video of the stabbing from their platforms, X made the videos unavailable to view within Australia, but they're still available to watch both outside of Australia, and to anyone using a VPN. Now, X and the eSafety commissioner are fighting it out in court, while X's owner Elon Musk continues to fight it out online.
