Elon Musk’s social media company X is filing a legal challenge against Australia for demanding the removal of a pro-family Canadian man’s post accurately identifying the sex of an LGBT activist.
On March 29, X’s Global Government Affairs account announced it would take legal action against Australian E-Safety Commissioner Julie Grant after she threatened to fine the platform if it failed to block a post by pro-family activist Chris “Billboard” Elston, which was allegedly offensive to an LGBT activist.
“Earlier this week, X was ordered by the Australian E-Safety Commissioner, subject to an approximately $800,000 AUD fine, to remove a user’s post,” the account wrote. “The post had criticized an individual appointed by the World Health Organization to serve as an expert on transgender issues.”
