Read our Privacy noticeAustralia’s internet regulator has begun legal action against Telegram for allegedly failing to remove terror material on the messaging platform, including Isis and beheading videos. The office ‌of the eSafety Commissioner said it began action after Telegram failed to remove videos of terrorist executions and mass shootings. "We allege that this content remained accessible on the ​service long after Telegram had been put on notice." She said that her agency began compliance talks with the platform in 2024, but despite their engagement, Telegram continues to host the content. However, in a court filing, eSafety said ‌Australian Telegram ⁠users reported complaining to the platform about seeing 12 posts containing pro-terror content from July to October 2025, including three which contained known terrorist content.
