Telegram hands US account ID, phone and IP in terrorism case
- —Only account ID, phone number and one IP with last-login time were shared
- —Data was provided under a 2703(d) order of the Stored Communications Act
- —Telegram answered 900 US requests in 2024, 98% of them in Q4
- —Disclosure policy eased after Durov's 2024 arrest, now covering IP and phone
Why it matters: The case shows US courts obtaining Telegram data via foreign-records rules, eroding the messenger's reputation for resisting government requests.
