PALO ALTO, U.S./SYDNEY/SAO PAULO -- Social media platform X and its owner, Elon Musk, are clashing with authorities around the world over demands to remove content seen as harmful, igniting debates over censorship as well as the role of Musk's business interests.
X, formerly known as Twitter, chalked up a court victory in Australia this week when a judge denied a request by authorities to extend a worldwide block on videos of a stabbing at Sydney church. Such violent content is illegal under Australia's online safety law.
