Telegram to Share Users' IP Addresses, Phone Numbers, and Other Details with Authorities
Sep 23, 2024, 04:37 PM
Telegram has announced a significant update to its privacy policy, stating that it will now share users' IP addresses, phone numbers, and other details with authorities in response to valid legal requests. This change was confirmed by CEO Pavel Durov on September 23, 2024. The update aims to comply with international legal requirements and deter criminal activities on the platform. Previously, Telegram's policy limited data sharing to cases involving terror suspects, but it now encompasses a broader range of crimes. This policy shift follows Durov's recent legal troubles in France, where he was arrested last month. Telegram has updated its terms of service accordingly.
