X censors in Australia, Musk clashes with PM Albanese

An Australian court has ordered social media platform X to hide content related to the murder of a bishop last week. After this, a war of words started between the company owner Elon Musk and Australia's PM Anthony Albanese.

On the court order, Musk said, 'The order means that any country can control the entire Internet.' Referring to the old order of the e-Safety Commissioner, Musk said that he had asked to completely remove the content related to the matter.

On the orders of the Commissioner, Musk targeted PM Anthony Albanese and said, 'The Prime Minister feels that he should have jurisdiction over the entire earth.' Hitting back at Musk's statement, PM Anthony Albanese said the country would 'do whatever is necessary to deal with this arrogant billionaire'.

"Musk thinks he is above the law. The idea that someone would go to court for the right to post violent content on a platform shows how out-of-touch Mr. Musk is. Social media also needs to fulfill social responsibility", he said.

In fact, on April 15, Bishop 'Mar Mari Emmanuel' of 'Christ the Good Shepherd' Church was stabbed to death in Wakeley, Western Sydney. Two people were injured in this stabbing. In this case, a case has been registered against a 16 year old boy under sections related to terrorism.

After the court order, Musk said that we have removed all the content related to the case from Australia. But, the company's concern is that if any content is removed from all over the world on the demand of the Australian 'e-Safety Commissioner', then how can any other country be stopped from controlling the entire Internet.
