Graham Smith (thread on Bluesky) re: judgement on Australian eSafety Commissioner’s office shortcutting of formal process to demand content takedowns from Twitter/X

It appears that the Australians have been playing fast and loose with the formal system for content takedowns, and someone finally complained:

Baumgarten v eSafety Commissioner (Aus). The most interesting part of this decision is the Tribunal’s observations on the Commissioner’s practice of using informal ‘complaint alerts’ rather than formal statutory content removal notices. Para 168 onwards. www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/view…
