Australian PM Slams Elon Musk for Refusing to Comply with Censorship Demands: ‘A Bloke Who’s Chosen Ego and Showing Violence Over Common Sense’

EXCERPT:

ALBANESE: "Well, this is a bloke who's chosen ego and showing violence over common sense. I think that Australians will shake their head when they think that this billionaire is prepared to go to court fighting for the right to sow division and to show violent videos which are very distressing. He is in social media, but he has a social responsibility in order to have that social license. And what has occurred here is that a safety commissioner has made very sensible suggestions. Other social media companies have complied with that compliant, but this bloke thinks he’s above the Australian law, that he's above common decency. And I’ll tell you what, I say to Elon Musk that is so out of touch with what the Australian public want. This has been a distressing time, and I find this bloke on the other side of the world from his billionaires' establishments trying to lecture Australians about free speech. Well, I won't cop it, and Australians won't either."
