- Australia’s PM Anthony Albanese is taking on Elon Musk - and it’s sparked a huge censorship row.
It all revolves around the stabbing of a bishop in Sydney two weeks ago - while the service was being streamed online.

As an Australian I would just like to let everyone know, the majority of Australians are just as ashamed of our government as you would expect. We don't like the fact that they are setting up the conditions for an authoritarian government!
Really? All three of the major political parties support moves to censor this content on Twitter, and they don’t seem to be getting much backlash for it. It’s one thing most people in Australia tend to agree on, which is exactly why the Prime Minister feels safe to say this.
@@bigbowlowrong4694 I don't think that is necessarily the case. It seems like the majority of people I have spoken to about it and about the current circumstances all seem to agree it is a disgrace, but they have already implemented self censorship effective enough that people feel it is too risky to speak up. I'm lucky enough to be self employed and not have to worry about HR or anything like that.
The arrogance of the Australian Gov. is on display
It'd not arrogance, it's usurpation of world power in its final stages, this all started with the 5 eyes and its precursor agreements. Look the deepstate/WEF/WHO/DEVIL in the eyes and know that they see you too.
Who is he ?😂Ive heard of Musk ,but not that chipmunk ?Who is he ?
Why because he standing up to billionaires?
Australians are suffering under this dirtbag
Forgive us Elon. At least he's not ruining your country
No, we have criminal Joe for that.
Thank you Elon Musk, for being an advocate of free speech!
The immigrants don’t care about social decency, that’s a big joke . They only care about spreading terror
He isn't YOUR advocate, he is only for him.
Australians are arrogant to tell musk what he can do
Australian's are sick of this government
Please don't blame all of us.
I didn't even vote for him.
The government is NOT Australians. They don't speak for us. They try to pretend that it is Australians behind them but they haven't done a poll for this topic. We don't have free media. It's a pretend democracy here.
Correction! Labour has nothing to do with my views. It's not Australia Vs Musk...it's woke Labour Vs Musk 🫡
I'm with Elon Musk ❤❤❤❤
Used to like him before he went pro-Russian
Australian Government should stick to governing Australia like they're supposed to, and not try to impose their clown values on the whole world
Banged your head?😂
Not Australian values. Albosleazy doing his best for wef globalist elites disinfo fascist censorship 'safety' campaign. Albo another scumbag tool.
VPNs are very common, cheap, and easy to use. Any Australian can use one to view this unless it's taken down globally. Australian government fears the footage will glorify the killer to other disturbed people who may copy.
Like anybody cares what Austailians think 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No they dont .They dont want people knowing the kind of people they are letting in .Worst country in the world during the pandemic .Aussies have arms like dartboards 😂😂😂😂😂
Australian PMs breaching about arrogance? 😂
It’s musk… yes.
@ascgazz7347 this politician is a nazi, telling people what they can see.😂😂😂😂
*preaching
It's not worth it to Elon musk. They probably figured that at worst they would try to put a judgment against him
He's the democratically elected representative of an entire country, so really you're calling 27 million Australians arrogant.
An arrogant millionaire whinging about an arrogant billionaire
It's the PM who is arrogant and inlgnorant of the reality the Australian Government has created in Australia! The public isn't complaining obout the video because it's reality! A concern for all Australian's and what it means for all of us!
Albanese is arrogance personified
Pm seems arrogant to me.
He's the democratically elected representative of an entire country, so really you're calling 27 million Australians arrogant.
@ghjgjihjgjyrdrgydsgr137 Sure, sure, but not the world. If he wants to prevent freedom of information he could ban the site, control the media, maybe run the country as a communism, call himself the emperor of Australia!
Politians should stick to there jobs, there opinion on these matters isn't relevant and it's damaging to society. If the world doesn't see the crime, how can people react accordingly? Protesters could start pushing an agenda that this man didn't do the crime and that its all just a way to prosecute an innocent man because of his nationality. If the politicians controlled these kind of videos, do you think George Floyd's murder would have been seen?

Musks right we've all had enough of arrogant politicians thinking they know what's best for us
Musk is allowing literal terrorists to broadcast their platforms to literally billions of people without consequence.

Better to see it and know it exists than not know
Yeah let’s give the billionaires a go!
@@eamonchanter6482 yea we prefer to pretend it doesn't happen and it's not a big deal while we invite more into our country.

So any video of anything is ok in your book. Forget it’s a politician saying it.
Let’s say is was a high speed car accident that wiped out an entire family, that ok ? Where do YOU draw the line, or you saying there is no line. Does the guy with the most dosh get to decide, with zero consequences?

He's the democratically elected representative of an entire country, so really you're calling 27 million Australians arrogant. Really I'm just seeing the same comment over and over again. So I'm posting the same response over and over again.
@@ghjgjihjgjyrdrgydsgr137
He is censoring justified criticism of his poor leadership.
He got 37% votes in last election, it is the strange preferential voting system that put him in power.
I'm not a Musk fan but why does an 'e-safety commissioner' in another country get to tell me whether or not I can watch a video. What's their argument?
Any Australian with a VPN can view it unless it's taken down globally. Australian gov. view is that sharing videos like that encourages copycat murderers.
John Menadue "the pro-Israel lobby in Australia is formidable, well-funded and effective. Material which the lobby opposes being published in Australia is routinely published in Israel ... *the pressure that the Israeli lobby places on Australian journalists is outrageous* "

He is the PM
37% of votes. Not pm
Do they still have concentration camps in Australia like during the " pandemic" ?
No not anymore, the government wants to sweep it all under the rug, especially after they realised that in WA (one of our states) it was one of the only places in the world that received the vaccine before they got COVID and the Access Deaths went through the roof and couldn't be blamed on COVID.
Wake up
"Free speech advocates" don't sue whistleblowers or ban journalists
Okay
But he make electric car wtf u so mean
imagine your defence to censorship being "he did it to!" how old are you?
@@imalittletoxicjustalittle old enough not to buy some bullshit framing of musk being about free speech.
LIKE. Absolutely right, his hypocrisy is as extreme as his views
Can you imagine the arrogance of a country leader thinking they have the jurisdiction, let alone the right, to tell a business what it can do in other territories. Australia! For shame. Talk about anti free speech authoritarianism.
Albanese as usual is accusing E.M of his own character trait . Again he is showing his true face , incompetence, arrogance and lack of ideas.
Albanese the true definition of Arrogance
The world should not be so naive! You don’t have to watch it if you don’t want to.
you are the naive one, they do not want for you to have the opportunity to notice patterns
Obviously, we now live in a world where demons must be able to find pleasure watching such content. There's children on the internet.
@@ayyleeuz4892I think you might be the naive one. Don’t watch it if you don’t want to and stop acting like the internet police. Oh I’m worried about others seeing it. Oh please you see more violence on normal tv and the news.
Censor yourself and not others. I’ll decide what I want to watch.
VPNs are very common, cheap, and easy to use. Any Australian can use one to view it unless it's taken down globally.
@@ghjgjihjgjyrdrgydsgr137 if someone desires to watch such content, it's a good inclination as to what type of person they are. Furthermore, as I stated above, it's even worse that those people don't care about the fact it's freely available for children to see. People are beyond messed up these days.
Albanese is cringeworthy in a daily basis, I know, I am an Australian.
I am with Elon and against totalitarianism of the Australian government we are all forced to live under and shut up about it.
When the victim, the Bishop, says he has no problem showing the footage, why is Albo defending the perpetrator by censoring footage of a religeous terrorist attack??
And not wanting to be parodied?? Thats worth 409k plus a year of taxpayer money to stop??
The fact Dutton and Lambie approve means we need thicker skinned politicians.
You know, Aussies.
it happens or anything happens why can't we see it. 😢
Rephrase: Arrogant PM Albo takes on a ''Freedom of information'' tech giant.
So why elon taking down videos of the 7 October attack by hamas, suddenly things change
I won’t take any advice from my bogan PM
I’m with Elon and free press is free speech for the grown ups
Musk censors people himself, to defend him on this topic is pathetic
imagine your defence to censorship being "he did it to!" how old are you?
@@imalittletoxicjustalittleimagine being a hypocrite.
@@imalittletoxicjustalittle that’s not the point I’m making, the point is that he pretended to be against censorship 100% then took money from the Turkish prime minister to censor his political opponent and hitch helped him win the election. Musk is a hypocrite and going out to defend him on censorship is pathetic because he has himself said that censorship is ok, just not when it comes to him.
@@imalittletoxicjustalittle **he did it TOO. Basic English my guy.
@@imalittletoxicjustalittle I’m not defending censorship, I just won’t defend Musk because he pretends to be 100% anti censorship right up until someone says something he doesn’t like. Then he wants everyone to be outraged when someone does it to him. It’s pathetic that anyone would rise to his defence. Also, what is happening here isn’t actually censorship.
Musk is a pratt
Your a pratt for saying pratt. 🤓 nerd
Bit like your mum
Yeah but he is a super rich Pratt who thinks he is above the law of the land.
@@lisadefries6718 you could have 1% of Musk's wealth and it would make you wealthy enough that you are functionally above the law in almost any capitalist nation

"Arrogant billionaire" - an artefact of a distorted system of economics. Well said, Australia! I'm with you!
Well said commissar
Australia is not with the PM .... he's the arrogant fool in this.
Give people a little authority and they grow to believe they have power to sensor. Power to add poison to food. Power to disarm law abiding citizens while criminals roam free. Power to allow you to see only what they want you to see
Australia has had 0 mass shootings in the 22 years since gun laws were put in place
We’re quite happy not having bi-annual school massacres. Thanks for the offer though

Yeah that's very vague, if people like you were on the right side of history you'd be transparent about it 😊
@@drinkmeamericaimdelicious7999 exactly which part is vague?
Elon Musk is advocating for freedom of speech. I think it is the commentary that offends the e-safety commission not the violence. I am all for looking at limiting violent images on social media. But not limiting information. All is needed is for the public to know the source of information. I stand with Elon Musk.
Stop hiding the truth
We already have soros gates etc
We don't want to be silenced , or ignored. We deserve the truth. And if Australia is unsafe the world needs to know it. The vidios were already covering the actual stabbing . So again your wrong Anthony. I'm Australian .
Want to believe that someone's controlling the world, eh? The real fantasy is that anyone could.
FAA and his kookaburra-brained supporters
Controlling politicians
When his term as PM ends, no one will know who he is.
Hmmm who's talking about arrogance,??😅
Disgusting misrepresentation of what the public really wants CENSORSHIP IS VILE
& watching someone die isn't I guess?
I'm part of the public, and I would hate it if Musk ignored a request from my country's democratically elected leader to take down video of a violent terrorist incident that took place in my country.
@@k0d4xbl1xy4 We should have a right to see what is happening in our back yard.
@@ghjgjihjgjyrdrgydsgr137 The E-Safety Commissioner is not democratically elected, the video is down in Australia, he should not have power over the entirety of the worlds information. Our Prime Minister is acting like a petty tyrant.
@@albertoftasmania watching terrorism isn't a right nor is exposing children to it because you have a lust for evil.
It's reasonable for a country to have a law that means they maintain control and allows them to restrict content filmed in their country. So the PM isn't being too out-of-line. But in general Musk is correct: Australia PM cant control what other countries get to see.
VPNs are very common, cheap, and easy to use. Any Australian can use one to view it unless it's taken down globally.
Than the Australian government should put it to a vote to block sites they deem in violation of this. They could ask China how to do this, they have the most experience.
Why is it their country? Cause they said so? NO! God gave me the right to walk this land, it belongs to him. Even if u aren't religious, no sane argument be made to say that they own the land. They don't own me and never will.
@@barry4207 the philosophy of ownership is indeed complex, but to simplify it for a CZcams comment: one's morals will inform the righteousness of possession, typically culminating on the effect on others.
For a country, this essentially means that it is most righteous for the people who occupy a space (i.e., those most affected but it's governance) to determine the rules.
Australia doesn't even have Amazon prime. They don't deserve opinions
Yes, we do.
No one cares what you have to say Albosleazy
This pm only got 30% of the vote. So who is arrogant.
He's the democratically elected leader of all Australian people. Musk is showing contempt for the people of Australia, the PM is just the public face.
I think morally it should be taken down, these sorts of videos are unfair on victims and often inspire copycats (like many school shootings or islamic terror attacks). But Albanese doesn't have the jurisdiction to order that.
The religion of Muslins breed attacks on Christions and Jews Australia deserve to know what happened and what is being done with terrorism in Australia and to Identify the criminals especially if he's a local terrorist and those who are with him. Palistilians were right there in a large group jumping on police cars and injuring some. It was a Terrist attack. If it wasn't shown on line we would not know the extent of the attack as it was a" Planned attack "by a group who live in Australia. Your the arrogant one, who are you to hide a crime on Australian people.
I disagree with the first part about it being taken down. I agree with your last sentence.
Sounds to me a lot like don't mention it and it will not happen. In the Netherlands they stopped reporting on suicides unless it involves multiple people. The only thing it acomplished is obscuring that fact that there are a lot of suicides but out of sight out of mind. So no. SHow the gruesome details.
The victim said it should be left up.
Elon still trying to get Tesla to pay him $56 billion for one year's work. He could give me his money if he wanted, but I couldn't give him a sense of satisfaction with his life, and believe me, I would if I could.
Agree PM.
Exactly what principle is AA defending except Australia's right to be a pathetic People's Republic of Nowhere.
And people need to no what’s going on in the world keep up the good work Elon
What is an Albanese doing in the government of Australia....🙈
We'll do whats necessary to take on this arrogant billionaire,well do it with somebody else's money not our tax payer dollars
Why does Elon want the world to see a violent act 🙄
The arrogant one here is Albo. The Australian government or the Australian courts don’t control media either. When did any of these courts or our government or opposition government call for the removal of videos of people being executed in the Middle East ?? Yeah they didn’t. Double standards I’d say. Anything to avoid racial tensions boiling up due to fundamentalism in Australia.
Australia needs to get rid of this P.M and elect one that will give the right to own firearms back for law abiding citizens.
He doesn't want to show anything that makes muslims look bad.
Political again , rip the bishop, sad event 😢😢 free speech is free, what the establishment are trying to show is not any good for people 😢 free speech please ❤❤
Tell elon musk that 😂
Yes speech, not graphical violence where children can readily watch it. How messed up do you need to be to not know the difference. Terrorism isn't free speech.
