The #Australian government fined #Telegram $1 million for failing to cooperate with the #eSafety Commissioner, but platforms like #Instagram and #Facebook, where millions of cases of #childabuse occur, have faced little accountability. #Meta avoids using “child abuse” as a reporting option, making it harder to flag serious exploitation, and despite government investigations, no major fines have been issued against them.
While Telegram was penalized, Meta continues to delay compliance with #childsafety regulations, even pushing for encryption that could hide abuse further. This selective enforcement raises concerns that big tech giants are being treated more leniently than smaller platforms.
