An Australian judge has ruled that the social media platform X is subject to a state’s anti-discrimination law even though it does not have an office in Australia.
Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal Judge Ann Fitzgerald said in a decision made public Friday that her court has jurisdiction over X Corp. in a hate speech complaint.
The ruling allows the Queensland Human Rights Commission to hear an allegation that X breached Queensland anti-discrimination law by failing to remove or hide anti-Muslim hate speech.
Where my elon dickriders at? Try this experiment. Use any of these words on the internet…Elon, musk, tesla, monsanto, glyphosphate, roundup, gmo, nuclear energy, fracking. A magical thing happens where the thread gets brigaded by “experts in the field” explaining why you are wrong and all these things are chock full o’ vitamins. It almost feels like there is an office somewhere where people search keywords full time and throw up a firewall of bullshit to protect corporate interests.
