Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant has issued a 20-page removal notice to X on September 26, demanding the platform censor 23 specific posts featuring raw CCTV clips showing the last moments of Iryna Zarutska's life for Australian users.
If X doesn't comply, it faces fines of AU$825,000 per day. Among the targeted posts are commentaries about the slaying of Zarutska on her way to work by a convicted criminal on a train carriage, with many of the posts by journalists and online commentators criticising the double standards of the West when white women are murdered by criminals.
Inman-Grant, who has an international reputation for trying to censor the internet and control access to information, is no stranger to fighting with X. The former Twitter employee and WEF regular has been flexing the bureaucratic muscle of her agency, under the guise of representing the wishes of the Australian people and government. She has already lost multiple court battles over her vendetta against free speech, costing Australian taxpayers untold amounts. It is not yet clear whether X will challenge this latest provocation by Australia's aptly named E-Karen.
We have to ask ourselves why the eSafety Commission is making these decisions, and if it is driven by the political motivations of the people working at the eSafety office. Why is it that Australians can see some videos which may depict violence from theatres of war, for instance, but then have content hidden that pulls into focus the tragic failures and double standards in allowing the slaying of innocent victims, which are a topic of heated discussion and debate?

ok, elon, time to withdraw “X” from Australia ...
They better comply or the Australian witch may turn them into a newt.
My take is that this is NOT about sensitivities and all, as much as this is becoming the modern day "speed trap" as governments -- plural -- fine themselves wanting more "income."
A better choice, over time, is for various business to simply stop providing a "service" in those jurisdictions who play at this. Walk away.
Her own blather states: "Commissioner Julie Inman Grant is Australia's eSafety Commissioner. In this role, Julie leads the world's first government regulatory agency committed to keeping its citizens safer online."
Safest is to cut off the "online," and then TOTAL safety will ensue..... /sarc
Then there's this:
" 'The eSafety Commissioner is not an elected official, subject to the scrutiny of Parliament." 'Mechanisms to protect kids from cyberbullying, predatory behaviour and inappropriate material, such as the social media age minimum, will be put in place come December. But this new internet search code will encroach on the daily lives of adults, is onerous and a step too far'."
Coalition demands 'unelected' eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant faces 'investigation' and 'scrutiny' SKy News, 30 July 2025
She *demands* eh?
Leftists are so full of themselves.
If the Australian people don’t wish to see it, they can simply not watch it.
“Australian ... demands... (Musk)”
LOL!
bttt
X will have to block it....in Australia only. If Australia levies a fine of any kind against X for posts made outside Australia or visible outside Australia then the US will need to retaliate in kind against Australian companies dollar for dollar.
Same rule applies anywhere any everywhere else....British, Canadian, European.....you don’t get to exercise control out side your borders.
