Allegation of negligence in removing terrorist content: Australia initiates legal action against Telegram Australia’s internet security regulator has initiated legal action against the messaging platform Telegram. It is alleged that the company did not remove videos and other materials related to terrorist attacks and extremist violence on time even after receiving complaints. For violation of the rules, a civil penalty of up to 54.6 million Australian dollars can be imposed on the company. According to court documents, between July and October 2025, Australian users reported 12 posts that contained pro-terrorism material. Three of these posts were already marked with terrorist content. It is alleged that Telegram did not remove the 10 posts and also did not suspend or block the related accounts. Telegram has rejected the allegations and said that it will present its side in the court. Telegram has over one billion monthly active users. Its founder Pavel Durov has been running the company from Dubai since 2017.

Hadi Matar, who attacked famous writer Salman Rushdie with a knife in 2022, also convicted on terrorism charges, has been convicted by the US federal court on all terrorism-related charges. Matar, who was already serving a 25-year sentence for attempted murder, now faces up to life in prison in the federal case. The sentence in this case will be pronounced on November 3. The jury in the US District Court in Buffalo, New York, after deliberating for about two hours, found Matar guilty of all charges, including attempting to support Lebanon’s Iran-backed organization Hezbollah, international border terrorism and providing assistance to terrorists. According to the prosecution, Matar studied the fatwa issued against Salman Rushdie’s controversial novel ‘The Satanic Verses’ for more than a year and was inspired by the same to attack him with a knife on the stage at Chautauqua Institution in New York on August 12, 2022. In 1989, Iran’s then supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini had issued a fatwa to assassinate Rushdie, calling ‘The Satanic Verses’ blasphemy. Later the Iranian government distanced itself from it, but this fatwa continued to be supported from time to time by various fundamentalist organizations.
