Billionaire Elon Musk's social media platform X has been ordered to block all users from viewing violent footage related to an alleged terror attack at a Sydney church.
Mr Musk and his company had raised free speech concerns over orders from Australia's internet watchdog to remove footage of the 15th of April incident.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Seven's Sunrise Mr Musk believes Australian law does not apply to him.
"Well this guy is showing his arrogance. He's a billionaire over there in the United States who thinks he’s above Australian law. He’s fighting for the right to show violent videos on his platform, something that can cause a damage to young people, we know, and a great deal of distress. Something that will add to social division. ... This isn’t about censorship. It’s about common sense and common decency and Elon Musk should show some."
More than 80 earthquakes, the strongest of 6.3 magnitude, have struck Taiwan's east coast and some have caused buildings to shake in the capital Taipei.

Katherine Bennell-Pegg has become the first female astronaut to graduate under the Australian flag.
There has never been an Australian woman in space.
Ms Bennell-Pegg started her training with the European Space Agency in Germany in April 2023.
She was one of six astronauts who graduated from the program on Monday.
The program takes astronauts through low-gravity flights, robotics, scientific experiments, survival, medical and other training.
Speaking to Seven's Sunrise, she says she is very grateful for the opportunity.
"To think that today I became an astronaut, better an Australian astronaut and I am space flight ready. So I am really excited for the future but also very grateful. You know being an astronaut is a team sport and I have been well-supported by my family and everyone back home. Thank you to all of them."
