An Australian court ruled an informal alert by eSafety to X to block a transphobic post was a legally binding take-down order.
An Australian federal court has ruled that the eSafety Commissioner’s informal alert to social media platform X to geo-block a post by anti-trans activist Celine Baumgarten effectively constituted a legally binding take-down order under section 88 of the Online Safety Act.
The post, which shared personal details of a Melbourne teacher running a queer student club, prompted a complaint.
Though the commissioner’s office did not issue a formal removal order, the court found its action carried legal weight, requiring the office to reconsider its approach.
The decision may impact hundreds of similar cases annually and raises broader questions about free speech and online safety enforcement.
