☕️ Tension Is Typing

Since the beginning of 2025, Telegram has handed over user data for more than 22,000 accounts, according to user estimates based on the platform’s publicly available data.

💘 That’s nearly four times more than during the same period last year — when the messenger disclosed data from 5,826 accounts.

💘 Pavel Durov’s stance on cooperating with authorities shifted after his 2024 arrest — Telegram is now actively working with law enforcement agencies.

💘 The majority of requests came from India (9,197), Germany (1,311), France (668), the U.S. (576), and Spain (493). In total, 24 countries submitted 13,615 requests.

💘 Telegram emphasizes that despite the change, it will not block political channels or protest movements. Users remain skeptical of that promise.
