美国国防部长Pete Hegseth计划直播军人Nidal Hasan的死刑执行1。这将成为美国自1936年以来首次公开执行死刑，以及自1945年以来首次采用军事射击队行刑的方式1。该计划引发国际关注，澳大利亚绿党呼吁政府阻止这一直播，称其为"令人难以置信的震惊和野蛮"内容1。
然而，澳大利亚政府的阻止能力受到严格限制。澳大利亚eSafety专员办公室表示，无法"主动阻止直播发生"1。虽然澳大利亚《在线安全法》规定政府可阻止"令人厌恶的暴力行为"内容，但该法律针对的是非法行为，而军事死刑在美国属于合法，这构成法律灰色地带1。eSafety专员的指导将"令人厌恶的暴力行为"定义为包括恐怖主义、谋杀、刑讯逼供、强奸和绑架等非法行为1。此外，虚拟专用网络（VPN）的广泛使用构成技术障碍1。2024年，社交媒体公司X曾成功抵抗了澳大利亚关于移除悉尼教堂刺伤事件录像的裁决，这进一步反映了科技平台对内容删除要求的抵抗态度1。新西兰、荷兰、丹麦、法国和西班牙政府也在权衡应对该直播的方案1。
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced plans to livestream the execution of military personnel Nidal Hasan, prompting calls from Australia's Green Party for the government to prevent the broadcast.1 This would mark the first public execution in the United States since 1936 and the first military firing squad execution since 1945.1
Australia's eSafety Commissioner's office has stated it cannot "proactively block a livestream from occurring," despite the Green Party characterizing the planned broadcast as "incredibly shocking and barbaric" content.1 While Australia's Online Safety Act permits the government to restrict content depicting "abusive violent conduct," the legal application remains uncertain in this case.1 The act was originally designed in response to the 2019 Christchurch terror attack and defines prohibited violent content to include terrorism, murder, torture, rape, and kidnapping—all illegal activities.1 Since military execution is lawful in the United States, the footage may occupy a legal gray area that complicates enforcement.1
Several practical obstacles further limit Australia's capacity to restrict access. The widespread use of virtual private networks (VPNs) presents a significant technical barrier to blocking online content.1 Additionally, free speech considerations and the precedent set when social media company X successfully resisted a 2024 court order to remove footage from the Sydney church stabbing incident underscore the challenges authorities face.1 Other governments, including those of New Zealand, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, and Spain, are also weighing their response options.1
