The article reports that Telegram is testing a Peer-to-Peer Login (P2PL) feature allowing some users to relay OTP SMS for others in exchange for premium access, raising privacy, spam, and harassment concerns because phone numbers used as relays may be exposed; it also recounts unsealed allegations that Meta used Onavo-based apps to intercept and decrypt traffic from competitor apps for market research. This is a privacy/security news piece rather than a technical incident report.
