Australia will hear a free speech case involving Elon Musk’s social media platform X and a Canadian father known as “Billboard” Chris after his online post led to a government-ordered content removal. The case, scheduled in Melbourne next month, tests the limits of free speech in the country.

Chris Elston, who's known by many as "Billboard" Chris, is a father of two who's pursuing legal action with the support of the advocacy group ADF International and the Australian Human Rights Law Alliance, claiming that his right to communicate his personal views peacefully has been infringed upon by the removal order.

The case will evaluate whether the government’s decision to enforce content removal restricts lawful expression on social media platforms, said ADF International.
