Several Toronto officers arrested as police plan to discuss results of corruption investigation

By The Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) — Several Toronto police officers have been arrested and a neighboring police force said it will announce details of an investigation into organized crime and corruption on Thursday.

Clayton Campbell, president of Toronto’s police union, said Wednesday he is aware of “several of its members who were arrested” but declined to provide further details.

York Regional Police said it will announce the results of a lengthy investigation into organized crime and corruption on Thursday.

York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween will be joined by Toronto Police Service Chief Myron Demkiw at a morning news conference.

The Toronto Police Association, the union, noted it represents over 8,500 uniformed and civilian members of the Toronto Police Service, “whose dedication to public safety and commitment to the values of our organizations should not be disputed or questioned in the face of these allegations.”

A spokeswoman for Toronto police declined to comment but referred to the York police’s announcement Thursday.

Australian watchdog files legal action against Telegram, saying it failed to remove violent content

By The Associated Press
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia’s online safety watchdog has filed legal action against messaging app Telegram, saying the platform failed to remove extremist content including videos of white supremacist mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and the New Zealand city of Christchurch as well as Islamic State group beheadings. The United Arab Emirates-based app, which reports having 1 billion users worldwide, faces a fine of up to 54.6 million Australian dollars ($38 million) if convicted in the Australian Federal Court for “alleged failure to detect and remove pro-terror material,” eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said Thursday. The civil action is a test of Australia's 2021 law requiring tech platforms to work to keep illegal and pro-terrorism material off their networks. Telegram denied the claims. “We reject these allegations and will contest them in court,” a spokesperson said in a written statement sent on Telegram.
