    Telegram finally bows, agrees to share user data with authorities

    • Telegram has finally changed its stance on sharing user data with the authorities.
    • Co-founder and CEO Pavel Durov recently confirmed that the platform will provide IP addresses and phone numbers in response to legal requests.
    • This change comes just a few weeks after Durov was arrested in France.



    Telegram is undergoing significant changes following the recent arrest of its co-founder and CEO, Pavel Durov. After updating its FAQ page earlier this month to reflect policy changes regarding content moderation in private chats, the messaging app has now confirmed that it will start sharing user data with authorities if it receives valid legal requests.

    Durov announced this development in a recent post on Telegram (via Bloomberg), highlighting some of the changes the platform is making to combat the misuse of its Search feature. These include a new team of moderators to identify and remove “problematic content” from Search, an option for users to report unsafe or illegal content, and changes to its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to deter criminals from abusing the feature.
