Twitter is a signatory to the Christchurch Call, which agrees to remove any videos supporting terrorism from its platform. This is not something Musk abandoned when he took over. He assured Macron that Twitter would adhere to it in 2022.

Interestingly, that does not appear to have been discovered by the local media.

I also checked the Christchurch Call website which clearly shows Xitter as a member of the community that agreed to:

"Take transparent, specific measures seeking to prevent the upload of terrorist and violent extremist content and to prevent its dissemination on social media and similar content-sharing services, including its immediate and permanent removal, without prejudice to law enforcement and user appeals requirements, in a manner consistent with human rights and fundamental freedoms. Cooperative measures to achieve these outcomes may include technology development, the expansion and use of shared databases of hashes and URLs, and effective notice and takedown procedures."

A lot of the international press seems to be ignoring that or doesn't know about it or something too.

I've just advised the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the national broadcaster here. No idea if it's going to do anything.

I sent this:

X (twitter) is a signatory to the Christchurch Call set-up by Jacinta Adern. Signatories agree among other things to suppress the dissemination of terrorism. Nobody is talking about this.

I've also just told the Guardian before realising that the former Prime Minister of New Zealand is called Jacinda Ardern.
