According to reports from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Reuters and other media on July 30, the Australian cybersecurity regulator “eSafety” has filed a lawsuit in the federal court, accusing the social media platform “Telegram” of ignoring warnings several times and failing to effectively interfere with content involving terrorism and violent extremism in its platform services. “This case relates to some of the most notorious extremist violence in recent years, including material relating to the Christchurch and Buffalo terrorist attacks.” Australian Cyber Security Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said in a statement, “We are complaining that the 'Telegram' platform can still access this content for a long time after receiving the relevant notice.” The statement said that failure to comply with Australian laws and regulations could result in civil fines of up to $54.6 million. According to Reuters, a spokesperson for the “Telegram” platform denied the allegations in response to a request for comment and said “they will be defended in court.”
