SYDNEY (AP) — Australia’s online safety regulator has put social media giants on
notice, requiring them to explain what they are doing to to protect people from
violent extremists and terrorists.
The country’s eSafety regulator announced Tuesday that it had issued legal
notices to Google, Meta, X, WhatsApp, Telegram and Reddit requiring each company
to report on steps they are taking to protect Australian users of their
platforms from extremist material online.
Accessing violent and extremist content on social media has been blamed for the
radicalization of the perpetrator of the 2019 Christchurch mosques shootings,
which killed 51 people, and also a gunman who murdered 10 black Americans at
Buffalo in New York in 2022. Both shooters also livestreamed parts of their
attack online.
According to Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant the risk of
terrorism and online radicalization remains high both in Australia and
internationally.
“The tech companies that provide these services have a responsibility to ensure
that these features and their services cannot be exploited to perpetrate such
harm and that’s why we are sending these notices to get a look under the hood at
what they are and are not doing,” Inman Grant said in a written statement.

“We remain concerned about how extremists weaponise technology like
live-streaming, algorithms and recommender systems and other features to promote
or share this hugely harmful material.”
The Commission said it had issued the notices under transparency powers granted
under Australia’s Online Safety Act, which will require the six companies to
answer a series of detailed questions about how they are tackling the issue.
“It’s no coincidence we have chosen these companies to send notices to as there
is evidence that their services are exploited by terrorists and violent
extremists. We want to know why this is and what they are doing to tackle the
issue,” Inman Grant said.
“And, disappointingly, none of these companies have chosen to provide this
information through the existing voluntary framework – developed in conjunction
with industry – provided by the OECD.”
The companies have 49 days to respond and face financial penalties of around 780
thousand Australian dollars ($510,000) per day if they don’t comply.
According to a recent OECD report, Telegram is the top ranked mainstream
platform when it comes to the prevalence of terrorist and violent extremist
material, with Google’s YouTube ranked second and X, formerly known as Twitter,
third. The Meta-owned Facebook and Instagram round out the top five.
WhatsApp is ranked 8th while a 2022 report by the New York State Attorney
General confirmed the Buffalo supermarket shooter’s ‘manifesto’ cited Reddit as
a platform that played a role in his radicalization towards violent white
supremacist extremism.
The eSafety Commission will also be asking Telegram and Reddit about measures
they have in place to detect and remove child sexual exploitation and abuse.
The Commission said it will publish further information on the findings later in
the year.
