Australia Wants Stabbings of Christians Kept Secret
"The
Australian
government
is
demanding
that
stabbings
of
Christians
by
Godless
thugs
not
be
allowed
to
be
reported
anywhere
in
the
world
and
videos
must
be
immediately
destroyed
of
all
videos
showing
the
mass
murder
of
Christians
by
stabbing.
This
is
directed
at
Elon
Musk
who
owns
X,
formerly
Twitter,
for
allowing
videos
of
stabbings
of
Christians
to
be
posted
on
his
platform.
Leftist
pro-stabbing
government
officials
desire
nobody
should
find
out
about
terrorist
attacks
on
Christians.
Public
Advocate
will
not
cooperate
and
will
post
reports
of
videos
of
violent
freaks
seeking
to
cause
harm
to
innocent
victims
without
restraint
by
government.
We
shall
not
be
silenced
about
leftists
that
seek
the
end
of
religious
liberty
using
censorship
to
coverup
their
murderous
political
pro-terrorist
policies,"
says
Eugene
Delgaudio,
President
of
Public
Advocate.
Fresh off his feud with a Brazilian Supreme Court judge, Elon Musk is taking his next fight to the very top of the government down under. The owner of X and self-proclaimed champion of free speech has refused to comply with an Australian order to remove videos of violence from his platform, a move that has solicited the ire of the Prime Minister.
Just days after a knifeman killed six at a mall earlier this month, Australia was rocked by another stabbing incident in the suburbs of Sydney when, on April 15, a bishop and a priest were stabbed during a live-streamed sermon. Graphic footage of the attack, which the government deemed terrorism, quickly circulated online and sparked riots near the church scene of the crime.
On April 16, Australia eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant ordered social media companies X and Meta to take down the videos within 24 hours, under the powers of the country's Online Safety Act. "We know that every minute counts, and the more this content is up there, the more it is reshared, the more the velocity and the virality continues and we need to stem that," she said. "This is really devastating content that cannot be unseen and causes serious emotional, mental and psychological damage."
Meta reportedly acted swiftly. "Our priority is to protect people using our services from seeing this horrific content even if bad actors are determined to call attention to it," a spokesperson told the Guardian. But X took a different approach.
"Does the PM think he should have jurisdiction over all of Earth?" Musk wrote in a post, referring to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
