→ Pavel Durov adds that Telegram has always handed over data only after receiving properly filed requests related to serious crimes. The number of approved requests can be found through a special bot.
→ Telegram recently updated its privacy policy to eliminate confusion among users from different countries. But the messenger has not changed its principles: the company is committed to complying with laws, as long as they do not contradict the values of freedom and privacy.
According to Pavel Durov, Telegram protects activists and ordinary users from abuse by authorities and corporations, but it also prevents criminals from evading justice.
