Last week, Chris Elston, a Canadian anti-gender ideology and anti-child mutilation activist known as “Billboard Chris,” was shocked to have been notified by X (formerly known as Twitter) that the Australian government had demanded the removal of one of his tweets.

The tweet in question was one Elston posted to his own X account, which has over 400,000 followers, and shared his opinion that a transgender woman named Teddy Cook should not have been hired by the World Health Organization to draft transgender health-care policy.

“This is someone who listed imagery of bestiality, who is into bondage, who mutilated their own body, who says that trans-identified persons have better sex when they're on drugs,” Elston claimed during our interview.

“This is not someone who should be determining health-care standards for people who are already struggling with mental health comorbidities,” Elston added.

After a complaint came in about the Canadian activist's tweet, Australia’s eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, sent the demand letter to Elon Musk's X, effectively resulting in X making the tweet unavailable for Australian users or be subjected to over $780,000 AUD on fines.

The eSafety Commissioner has brought our nation into disrepute. I want to feel proud to be Australian. I want Australia to be a beacon of freedom in the world. Instead, the world laughs at our stupidity. We need to shift towards the defence of freedom.

During our interview, Elston discussed how some Australian MPs have spoken up about the government trying to censor his opinion and how he plans to fight back.

After conducting the interview with Elston, Rebel News learned that X has decided to challenge the eSafety commisioner's decision in order to defend the free speech of its platform's users.
