Australia’s eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, just lost a major court case — exposing the office’s flawed tactics for pressuring platforms like X to remove speech.
The tribunal ruled that eSafety can't use an informal loophole to censor posts without meeting its own criteria. Yet, instead of backing down, eSafety is doubling down — urging Australians to report even more "hateful" content.
The irony? eSafety’s own research shows most people simply ignore online "abuse." But Grant insists she has powers to get such speech removed.
