Australia to take legal action against Telegram over alleged inaction on terror content
Australia has initiated legal proceedings against Telegram due to its alleged negligence in removing pro-terror posts. Between July and October 2025, users flagged twelve instances of extremist content, of which ten posts remained active and associated accounts unblocked. This lawsuit arises amid rising concerns about the platform's link to severe extremist acts. Telegram has denied these claims and is preparing to defend itself in court.
