Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham has slammed Elon Musk as “dead wrong” after he failed to comply with a request from the eSafety Commissioner.
Billionaire Elon Musk has mocked Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s social media crackdown hours after his platform was again ordered to remove graphic content.
“He’s dead wrong,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia.
“We all support legitimate free speech, but, ultimately, these freedoms do have limits when it comes to content and information that can be harmful.
“In this type of case, what we know is images … are not only disturbing in and of themselves but they are frequently used by people to stir up trouble in communities.
“Elon Musk’s arguments run completely counter to the facts and the evidence as to how this type of information is used in a dangerous way that drives disharmony and discord within our community.”
