Australia sues Telegram in the Australian Federal Court, accusing the messaging platform of failing to remove extremist videos including footage from the Christchurch and Buffalo shootings and Islamic State beheadings and seeking a fine up to A$54.6M ($38M).eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant says Telegram allowed violent content to persist in group chats and broadcast channels after repeated notices and points to an earlier A$1M fine and limited responsiveness until outside pressure increased.Telegram and founder
Pavel Durov deny the allegations, say they have blocked more than 150,000 terrorist-linked communities this year and vow to contest the case while the regulator says the suit will test the Online Safety Act and notes probes in
France and accusations from
Russia's
Federal Security Service.
