#Telegram Faces 900 Data Requests from U.S. Authorities in 2024 šŸ“©

In 2024, Telegram received 900 user data requests from U.S. authorities, impacting over 2,200 users, as reported by Cointelegraph. The surge in inquiries followed the August arrest of CEO Pavel Durov in France, where he was accused of enabling criminal activity.

Telegramā€™s privacy policy allows it to share IP addresses and phone numbers of alleged criminals with law enforcement, a practice it has followed since 2018.

Despite legal troubles and Durov being restricted from leaving France, Telegram continues to thrive with 950M active users, remaining a favorite for the crypto community due to its encryption features.
