Telegram has reported a significant rise in the number of data requests it fulfilled for law enforcement in 2024. The messaging app handed over user data, including phone numbers and IP addresses, to U.S. authorities on 900 occasions, affecting over 2,200 users. This marks a stark increase from just 14 requests the previous year. Indian authorities received data on 14,641 occasions, impacting over 23,500 users. This surge follows the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, which seemingly led to a shift in the app's policy on user data requests. The transparency data highlights a growing trend of compliance with legal demands.
