Australia's online safety regulator, eSafety, has initiated legal action against messaging platform Telegram for allegedly failing to remove terrorist content, including videos of executions and mass shootings like the Christchurch and Buffalo attacks, despite user complaints. The regulator claims that some content remained accessible for up to three months. If found liable, Telegram could face civil penalties of up to AUD 54.6 million (around EUR 33.18 million).
