美国国防部长佩特·赫格塞斯宣布计划在12月初直播执行尼达尔·哈桑（堡垒胡德枪手）1。澳大利亚绿党要求eSafety专员朱莉·英曼·格兰特和阿尔巴尼斯政府确保澳大利亚人无法观看这场直播1。英曼·格兰特虽然拥有权力命令Facebook、Instagram和X等平台屏蔽澳大利亚用户访问此类被列为"拒绝分级"内容的能力1，但此举可能引发外交纠纷。
从执法历史看，挑战显而易见。X平台在2024年成功阻止了悉尼主教遇刺事件视频的审查1，甚至招募被害者主教Mar Mari Emmanuel上法庭为其辩护1。X平台最近还赢得了一项上诉，将保守派影响力人士查理·柯克遇刺视频的分级从RC降低为R18+1。英曼·格兰特可以发布删除通知，要求网站删除显示"实际暴力犯罪如谋杀、强奸、刑讯逼供"的内容1。根据2019年基督城恐怖攻击后通过的法律，她还拥有声明"在线危机事件"并命令互联网服务提供商阻止网站的权力，尽管该权力迄今未曾被动用过1。
值得注意的是，英曼·格兰特的任期将于明年1月到期，她已表示不会寻求连任1。美国共和党议员吉姆·乔丹等特朗普阵营的政治人物曾将英曼·格兰特称为"全球删除的狂热者"1。此外，eSafety专员正在对Telegram进行测试，寻求罚款高达5460万澳元1。
Australia's eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant confronts a delicate regulatory dilemma as the United States prepares to livestream an execution. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced plans in early December to carry out a livestreamed execution of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, prompting Australia's Greens party to demand that Australian citizens be prevented from viewing the broadcast.1
Though Inman Grant possesses the legal authority to order social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and X to block Australian users from accessing such content—designated as "refused classification"—historical precedent suggests this power could trigger protracted legal conflicts with major technology companies.1 X platform has repeatedly resisted Australian regulatory efforts, successfully blocking removal of a Sydney bishop stabbing video in 2024 and even recruiting the assault victim, Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, to testify in court on its behalf.1 More recently, X won an appeal to downgrade the classification of a video depicting conservative influencer Charlie Kirk from RC (refused classification) to R18+.1
The eSafety Commissioner can issue removal notices demanding websites delete content depicting graphic violence such as murder, rape, or torture.1 Additionally, legislation enacted following the 2019 Christchurch terror attack granted the Commissioner authority to declare an "online crisis event" and order internet service providers to block access to websites, though this power has never been exercised.1
The regulatory tension arrives as Inman Grant's term concludes in January, with her having declared she will not seek reappointment.1 Political figures aligned with Donald Trump, including Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, have previously labeled Inman Grant a "global censorship zealot."1
