Australia’s eSafety Commissioner says it has begun legal action against the messaging platform Telegram after content removal requests were not met. According to reports, the regulator moved forward after Telegram allegedly failed to take down videos that depict terrorist executions and mass shootings. The eSafety Commissioner’s office states the action follows the platform’s non-compliance with efforts to remove the material. The case centres on whether the content falls under Australian rules governing online harmful or extremist material and whether Telegram is required to act after being notified. The reports indicate the regulator’s next steps are part of a formal legal process, though details on timing, specific orders, or penalties are not included in the provided summaries. The matter underscores ongoing government efforts to address violent extremist content on major digital platforms and to enforce obligations for rapid takedown or other remediation measures after notification.
