- Australian watchdog files legal action against Telegram, saying it failed to remove violent content
Australia’s online safety watchdog filed legal action against Telegram, alleging it failed to remove extremist content including videos of white supremacist and Islamic State attacks. Telegram denies the claims, stating it blocks over 150,000 terrorist-related communities annually, while the regulator argues the app must take responsibility for harmful material in its channels.
