Australia's internet regulator has been called to testify before the US Congress over concerns she is curbing free speech in America.
In a letter to eSafety commissioner Julie Inman Grant, prominent US Republican Jim Jordan said her enforcement of Australia's Online Safety Act (OSA) "imposes obligations on American companies and threatens speech of American citizens".
He described Ms Inman Grant as a "noted zealot for global takedowns" and requested she appear before congress by 2 December, days before Australia's social media ban for under-16s starts.
A spokesperson for the commissioner said she was considering whether to agree to the request.
In a statement, the spokesperson said Ms Inman Grant was "responsible for enforcing the laws of Australia" and "accountable to Australia's Minister for Communications and the Australian Parliament".
