Australia Begins Legal Action Against Telegram Over Alleged Pro-Terror Material
Australia's eSafety Commissioner began legal action against Telegram over alleged failings to tackle pro-terror posts.
eSafety alleges Telegram failed to remove videos of terrorist executions and mass shootings, including content linked to the Christchurch and Buffalo terror attacks.
Failure to comply with Australia's codes could result in civil penalties up to A$54.6 million ($38 million).
Telegram rejected the allegations and said it will contest them in court, citing blocked extremist communities in 2026.
eSafety's court filing said Telegram failed to remove 10 of 12 reported pro-terror posts from July to October 2025.
