Also in Federal Court, eSafety copped a kick in the arse again, with the judge deciding that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) can participate in X's lawsuit against eSafety. They argued that "if an Australian court makes a global takedown order, it might signal to other countries that they can impose similar orders under their own laws" and impacts users globally. The judge agreed so now they can give their points of view in this case. Good, because eSafety needs to hear them.
