According to Dostrailian and others for 24 days, the Australian Online Safety Administration asked YouTube, X, Facebook, and Telegram in March last year to answer how to detect and remove child abuse, violent extremists’ live streaming, various content posts, and algorithm recommendations.
At the time, Australian authorities told them to answer by May last year, but Telegram submitted a response only later in October.
“Timed transparency is not a voluntary requirement in Australia, and all businesses must comply,” said Julie Inman Grant, director of online safety.
Telegram responded completely to all questions from the Online Safety Administration and said it planned to appeal “unfair and disproportionate punishment,” saying there were no unresolved issues.
Recently, Australia has been seeking various terrorist attacks through social media and tightening regulations, saying that child abuse content is distributed.
For the first time in the world, teenagers are not allowed to create SNS accounts and are asking SNS platforms to come up with measures to prevent the posting and spread of various harmful substances.
The online safety agency also imposed a fine of A$615,500 in 2023, saying X had not adequately responded to requests for answers.
