eSafety commissioner says Telegram case comes amid ‘heightened security environment’ in Australia Julie Inman Grant said the case comes at a time when Australia is “facing a heightened security environment against the fresh backdrop of the Bondi tragedy, the royal commission into antisemitism, and Asio’s assessment that Australia’s terrorism threat level remains ‘Probable’”. She said: It is more important than ever that digital platforms meet their obligations to protect the Australian community.

Inman Grant added that some of the alleged offending content remained on Telegram.
