The Federal Court has set 24 and 25 July for a two-day hearing to settle the stoush between the eSafety Commission and the social media site X over the posting of videos of a stabbing in Sydney.

The Federal Court has refused a request from the Australian eSafety Commission to extend an injunction that required the social media platform X [formerly Twitter] to block access to videos of a stabbing in Sydney, that occurred on 15 April.

An interim order that required the social media platform X [formerly Twitter] to block access to videos of a stabbing in Sydney, that occurred on 15 April, has been extended until Monday [13 May] morning, when Federal Court Judge Geoffrey Kennett will render his judgment.

The tussle between X owner Elon Musk and the Australian eSafety Commission over taking down videos of a stabbing in Sydney, will continue in court on 10 May after a brief Federal Court case management hearing on Wednesday afternoon.

The Australian Federal Court has ruled that X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, should shield all users from videos of last week's stabbing incident in Sydney until the issue is dealt with later this week.

The owner of X, Elon Musk, has been described as a "narcissistic cowboy" who thinks he can ignore the Australian Parliament, following his decision to go to court over videos of a Sydney stabbing incident that he was asked to take down.

The social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, has refused to comply with an order from the Australian eSafety commission to take down content related to the stabbing attack in Sydney, saying it does not violate its rules on violent content.
