Telegram to Share IP Addresses and Phone Numbers with Authorities
Sep 23, 2024, 05:30 PM
Telegram, the popular messaging app, will now provide users' IP addresses and phone numbers to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests. This policy update, announced by CEO Pavel Durov on September 23, aims to deter criminal activities on the platform. The change follows Durov's recent arrest in France. Previously, Telegram's privacy policy limited data sharing to cases involving terror suspects, but it now includes broader criminal activities. Durov emphasized that the updated terms of service are designed to comply with international legal requirements and prevent abuse.
