Australia Sues Telegram Over Delayed Removal of Terror Videos
Australia's eSafety commissioner is suing Telegram after footage of the Christchurch and Buffalo attacks remained on the platform for nearly three months.
Australia's online watchdog, the eSafety Commissioner, has initiated legal proceedings against Telegram for leaving terrorist videos on its platform. The action comes after the regulator identified severe delays in the messaging service's response to horrific content depicting violent attacks.[1][2]
According to the regulator, footage showing the Christchurch and Buffalo mass shootings remained accessible on the controversial messaging app for nearly three months before it was finally taken down. The eSafety Commissioner cited the extended period as the core basis for taking action against the service.[1][2]
