Telegram CEO Pavel Duvrov is discovering the benefits of hiring people other than technical engineers as, following recent criminal charges leveled against him in France for complicity in criminal activity committed on the platform, he has announced the company will now comply with requests made by law enforcement for user data.
As noted by 404 Media (via BBC News), the messaging platform has typically only ever included a clause in its terms of service that the only criminal activity it would cooperate with law enforcement on would be terror offenses, but this now appears to be changing.
