Australia's eSafety regulator expressed concern over the platform X for not removing a violent video that influenced Axel Rudakubana before he murdered three young girls. Despite other tech firms complying with the regulator's request to take down the video of a stabbing incident in Sydney, X only blocked it in Australia. This left Rudakubana able to view the content just minutes prior to his attack, raising serious questions about the platform's policies and responsibilities regarding violent content.
eSafety noted with great sadness that Rudakubana viewed the violent footage just minutes before his attack, highlighting the impact that unchecked content can have.
Despite the tragic incident in Sydney, X merely blocked the video in Australia, allowing access to the content which fueled the subsequent attack on three young girls.
