Small wonder that, after four years, Elston has become an internet sensation. This real-world hero now travels the globe to win hearts and minds, expose the lies of gender ideology, and galvanize others to protect children. And he’s had an effect—such an effect that Australian authorities decided to weaponize a government bureaucracy to censor him on the social media platform X.

What triggered these officials, exactly? In February, Elston shared a Daily Mail article criticizing the appointment of gender ideology activist Teddy Cook to a panel of the World Health Organization. The article explained that Cook promotes deviant sexual practices, including bestiality and bondage.
