    I hate to agree with muskyboii, but if it’s true the content is already blocked for canadian users, they have zero jurisdiction over this. No one government can decide what is generally allowed on the internet

        This is because most countries have compatible copyright laws, so if something violates copyright in America, it probably violates copyright in most of the world.

        (The fact that most countries have copied America’s absurd extensions to copyright terms is a huge problem of its own, but it’s a problem with how legislators and governments have operated in setting the laws & treaties locally, and not with the actual application of the law.)

        The DMCA is the US arm of the international WIPO.

        The international cooperation is in place because, as I said, no one government has sole jurisdiction.

      It is a video of an Australian citizen being stabbed to death and they are doing it because they dont want the video to encourage other psychos to do the same thing.

      I just want to recontextualize it because free speech warriors have a tendency to disambiguate the thing they are talking about.

        And also the videos were being used to incite people to retaliate. Immediately after the attack, a rioting mob seeking vigilante justice surrounded the church, trapping the paramedics (who were treating the assailant) and the assailant inside. The mob apparently injured dozens of police, damaged about a hundred cars, including writing off a number of police cars, and some people armed with illegal weapons climbed a ladder to try to get into the church.

          Even if it was a pen he got stabbed with it and he only lived due to the intervention of skilled surgeons.

          He was being stabbed to death by the guy. The guy just failed.

          I haven’t seen any source suggesting it was a pen. Several sources, such as https://www.aap.com.au/news/police-powers-bolstered-as-terror-attack-probe-widens/, describe the weapon as a “flick-knife”. Other sources say that the bishop victim was “seriously injured”, and the assailant was injured in the attack and his own finger was sliced off with the knife.

          I think you are right that no one died, but wrong that the weapon was a pen - this was a serious attack with an actual knife.

            Interesting, not what was initially reported. I definitely read it was a pen originally but I believe it was an early article that has since been edited by the ABC.

            There’s nothing that really reports what the weapon is that I can find just verbs of ‘stabbed’ and ‘knifed’.

          Scientists have been begging news stations to not show name and picture of school shooters because every time they do there are copy cats. This has been statistically and psychologically well established for literally decades but people just ignore it because they want their violence porn.

          This stabbing came one day after the high profile stabbing in the mall with a ton of video of the stabber. Was this guy inspired by the mall stabber? Who knows what lies in the heart of a person but we can make some pretty good guesses.

          And in reference to the fake newsers. They will say it’s fake anyway. There is no amount of evidence that is sufficient for them if there is an interest in denying it.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Elon Musk lashed out at Australia’s prime minister on Tuesday after a court ordered his social media company X to take down footage of an alleged terrorist attack in Sydney, and said the ruling meant any country could control “the entire internet.”

    At a hearing overnight, Australia’s Federal Court ordered X, formerly called Twitter, to temporarily hide posts showing video of the incident earlier this month, in which a teenager was charged with terrorism for knifing an Assyrian priest and others.

    The billionaire, who bought X in 2022 with a declared mission to save free speech, although some groups have suggested that harmful content has increased on the site, leading some advertisers to flee.

    A spokesperson for e-safety commissioner Julie Inman Grant said the takedown notice was for the attack footage only, and not for “commentary, public debate or other posts about this event, even those which may link to extreme violent content.”

    On Tuesday, Facebook and Instagram owner Meta said it had used “internal tools” to detect and block copies of videos of the church attack and an unrelated, deadly stabbing at a shopping mall in Sydney two days earlier.

    Alice Dawkins, executive director of internet policy non-profit Reset.Tech Australia, said Musk’s comments fit “the company’s chaotic and negligent approach to the most basic user safety considerations that under previous leadership, the platform used to take seriously.”
