Embattled Telegram CEO Pavel Durov reportedly agreed to hand over IP addresses and phone numbers of those who use his encrypted messaging app to government authorities that make valid legal requests. Durov, the billionaire French-Russian national who was arrested in France last month and slapped with a slew of charges including facilitating the spread of child pornography through his popular messaging app, announced on Monday that Telegram changed its terms of service in order to deter criminals from using the service. The move is a departure from Telegram’s previous policies, which often gave short shrift to government requests for user data.
