What we can confirm
Multiple authoritative Australian and international sources report that Australia’s online safety regulator, the eSafety Commissioner, has commenced civil penalty proceedings in the Federal Court against the provider of the Telegram messaging service, alleging it failed to detect, deter, and remove pro‑terrorist and extremist material (including videos of terrorist executions and mass shootings) from the platform after being notified, which matches the claim that Australia is taking Telegram to court for allegedly failing to remove pro‑terror material.[4][1][3][6][2][5][9]
