Australia has imposed sanctions on the Terrorgram Telegram channel network. Any interaction with Terrorgram (an online network that promotes white supremacy and racially motivated violence) will now be a criminal offense, with offenders facing up to 10 years in prison.

The country's government has imposed sanctions aimed at combating terrorist financing on a structure based solely on the Internet, for the first time. This follows similar steps by the UK and the United States.
Australia has also extended sanctions against four other far-right groups, including the “Russian Imperial Movement”.
