Telegram Reportedly Sharing User Data With US Government
Original: Here's What Telegram Giving Data to the U.S. Government Looks Like
Telegram has begun handing user data to US authorities, and a new report by 404 Media details what that cooperation actually looks like in practice. The shift marks a notable departure from the messaging platform's long-standing reputation for resisting government data requests, prompting debate about privacy, encryption and how much user information is now accessible to law enforcement.
Why now: Telegram was long seen as privacy-friendly, so evidence of it sharing user data with US authorities has alarmed users and privacy advocates.
