Australia’s eSafety commissioner deployed tough new cyber abuse powers for the first time to force Twitter to remove severely harmful content targeting Brittany Higgins and her partner, David Sharaz, last year.
Sharaz lodged a formal complaint to the office of eSafety commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, in April last year, asking for an investigation of vitriolic content that Twitter was refusing to act upon, according to correspondence seen by Guardian Australia.
