Australia's eSafety Commissioner has filed legal proceedings against Telegram, accusing the messaging platform of failing to remove extremist material from its service. 12 The alleged violations involve content related to several violent incidents, including videos from the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooting and the 2022 Buffalo supermarket shooting. 12 According to source 2, content connected to the Bondi Beach antisemitic shooting was also at issue. 2
eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant stated that "we allege that this content remained accessible on the service long after Telegram had been put on notice." 2 The investigation began in March 2024, during which the authority reported receiving no response from Telegram for five months, suggesting the platform maintained a "permissive environment" for extremist content distribution. 1 Telegram denies the allegations and has indicated it will defend itself in court. 2
If found liable, Telegram faces a maximum penalty of AUD $54.6 million. 12 Australia also has the option to seek a federal court order requiring the platform to cease its service in the country. 1 Additionally, Russia has issued an international arrest warrant for Telegram founder Pavel Durov on terror financing charges. 2
