X welcomes the decision of Australia’s Classification Review Board to unban videos of the attacks on Charlie Kirk and Iryna Zarutska in Australia. At the request of the eSafety Commissioner, the Classification Board classified footage of the attacks as “Refused Classification,” meaning they were banned completely on all platforms and could not be sold, distributed, or shown anywhere in Australia.
Following X’s legal challenge, the Classification Review Board lifted the ban and agreed that the videos portray real events with profound social and political significance that adults should be able to see. X fought this case to uphold free speech and the importance of access to information about matters of public significance. We remain committed to protecting these principles.
