Telegram Challenges Australian Safety Rules in Court Telegram is suing Australia's eSafety Commissioner in Federal Court to fight a A$957,780 (US$622,000) fine from February 2025. The penalty was for delaying a report on handling extremist and child abuse content. #Telegram claims it's not a "social media service" under the Online Safety Act 2021, so the rules don't apply, and the notice was sent to the wrong address. The company provided the info voluntarily once informed. The case links to new rules starting December 10, 2025, requiring platforms to block users under 16 or face fines up to A$50 million. Telegram calls it "regulatory overreach" that threatens privacy. eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant defends the law: "Platforms must protect kids from online harm—delays weaken our efforts." Experts say the outcome could affect global tech regulations on safety versus free speech. #Court hearings continue into #2026. Thanks : 💌💌💌 Source : 💌💌💌

Pavel Durov Freed from French Travel Restrictions In a major legal victory, Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been granted full freedom of movement by French authorities, lifting the judicial travel ban imposed after his dramatic arrest in August 2024. The Paris prosecutor's office announced the decision today, ending months of restrictions that confined Durov to #France and limited his visits to Dubai. The move comes amid an ongoing investigation into Telegram's alleged role in enabling crimes like child exploitation, drug trafficking, and fraud through its end-to-end encryption. Durov, who was released on bail following preliminary charges, has maintained his innocence, calling the probe a "misunderstanding" of the app's privacy-focused design. "We're committed to balancing user rights with safety," he posted on X earlier this year. While no formal charges have been filed, the case highlights escalating tensions between Big Tech and European regulators. Legal experts say the ruling could pave the way for #Durov to refocus on Telegram's 1 billion users, potentially averting further disruptions to the platform's global operations. Source : 💌💌💌

📰 All possible restrictions on your account by @spambot. 🤓 Let's start with the familiar constraints: • You will not be able to write to users who did not add you to the contacts and did not write to you first (a week after the last message). • Invite users who have not added you to contacts to chats (groups and channels). 😱 But if you are restricted indefinitely: • Write in all groups that are public or private with links to public channels. The exception is that you are an admin of a group. • Leave reactions in all groups where you are not a member. • Edit rights of all admins, even where you are the owner. Except for the transfer of the owner's rights. • Create groups and channels. Generally. Any of them. 😴 What else can you do for an unlimited period of ban? • Write to a channel directs. Amazing, isn't it? • Launch bots. Any of them. • Contact support accounts, like Bot Support. And everything else.
