Last week, Twitter notified two Australian users that they had violated Australian law with tweets criticizing a biological male who identifies as transgender who was shown “breastfeeding” a baby. As a result, the offending posts would be restricted for Australian users in order to adhere to that country’s law.
“In the interest of transparency, we are writing to inform you that Twitter has received official correspondence regarding your Twitter account,” the social media platform informed Jasmine Sussex and Standing For Women Queensland (SFWQ).
We have not taken any action on the reported content as a result of this request. Please note, we may be obligated to take action regarding the content identified in this complaint in the future.
As Twitter strongly believes in defending and respecting the voice of our users, it is our policy to notify our users if we receive a legal request from an authorized entity (such as law enforcement or a government agency) to remove content from their account. We provide notice whether or not the user lives in the country where the request originated. This page provides more information: https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/defending-and-respecting-our-users-voice
A second email was sent to the users, notifying them that the content would be withheld in Australia, but that it would remain “available elsewhere.”
According to a report from Reduxx, Sussex had one of her tweets withheld, and SFWQ had a total of five tweets censored, all of which revolved around the Australian male who last year publicly announced that he had supposedly induced lactation and was breastfeeding his biological son because he wanted to “experience what it was like to be a mum and breastfeed.”

Penile colony! 😲😁
The whole damn world has gone insane..........................
That would be ‘penal’ colony.
A ‘penile’ colony is something waaaaay different...............
Sadly, that is correct!
Twitter is all about free speech. Right-o.
What is this garbage all over the world for? How ridiculous and people being muzzled not to speak the truth.
Well in pre Musk Twitter the offenders would already be gone from Twitter so that’s a small step in the right direction.
F’n insanity.

Soviet Australia is real.
Australia has gone to hell. I saw that coming during the fascism of 2020.
The stupid wuss wimps gave up their manhood, their freedom and their guns.
If you’d have told me 5 years ago how woke Australia would turn out to be I’d have never believed it. SMH
It used to be on my bucket list to visit......now, I wouldn’t even consider going there.
Sieg Heil!
The Australians are losing their rights of expression even faster than we are in America. The Covid hysteria was the first sign of this.
Since they outlawed private ownership of firearms, it is definitely off my list.
Outlawing guns to fight crime is like outlawing firetrucks to fight fires...............
Pretty sure there a bunch of ‘Ds’ running the country now so I stand by my term. 😊
