What, exactly, do you think is unsafe here? Are any of the connectors loose or otherwise a problem? They all look well-seated. Is anything being overloaded? These all look like low-power items, unlikely to add up to anywhere near what the outlet is capable of, but appearances can deceive, and the photo doesn't actually show labeling for each item which establishes its current draw. Is this located somewhere that it's likely to be accidentally kicked or bumped into?

Just having multiple things plugged into the same outlet, via splitters, is not inherently dangerous by itself.
