**Telegram News: Privacy Policy Changes**

- Telegram made significant changes to its privacy policy on Monday.

- The app will now hand over users' IP addresses and phone numbers to judicial authorities in cases of criminal investigation.

- The changes follow the arrest of CEO Pavel Durov in France last month.

- The Toncoin {{TON}} token fell 1% after Bloomberg reported the new terms, trading at $5.62.

- Telegram previously blocked new media from loading to combat bots and scammers.

- Durov said it was difficult to balance privacy and security.

- Telegram has previously faced pressure from Russian authorities, which led to Durov moving to Europe.

- Durov, who denies the charges, remains in France on bail pending the outcome of the investigation.
