Australia: Announced eSafety Commissioner decision to discontinue the proceedings in the Federal Court against X Corp to restrict access to extreme violent content

On 5 June 2024, the eSafety Commissioner of Australia announced its decision to discontinue legal action concerning the Class 1 removal notice issued to X Corp into the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Previously, the eSafety Commissioner issued a removal notice on 16 April, demanding X Corp to take all reasonable steps to remove the specified content. X Corp was given 24 hours from the issuance of the court order to comply. On 10 May 2024, the notice expired, and the Federal Court of Australia ruled against extending the interim injunction.
