Federal Court denies extension of injunction, enabling social media company X to not globally hide Wakeley church stabbing footage.

Federal Court refuses to extend injunction, allowing social media company X to not hide tweets with Wakeley church stabbing footage globally. The court's decision follows X agreeing to "geoblock" the content and reduce its visibility in Australia after the footage was given a Class 1 classification under the Online Safety Act. Despite the injunction, at least 65 instances of the footage remain online, and Australian users can still access it via a VPN.
