Telegram’s 2024 Transparency Report shows a sharp rise in law-enforcement cooperation, fulfilling 900 U.S. requests and disclosing IP/phone data for 2,253 users after a September 2024 policy change that broadened data sharing beyond terrorism to include cybercrime, illegal goods, and fraud. The shift followed the arrest of CEO Pavel Durov, and while some cybercrime groups claimed they would leave Telegram, monitoring suggests minimal immediate impact; further clarity is expected with the next report in April 2025.
