Telegram boss Pavel Durov has committed the platform to working more closely with law enforcement, while also cracking down on illegal activity. The Russian-born founder and CEO of the messaging platform said IP addresses and telephone numbers of those who break the app’s rules will be shared with police “in response to valid legal requests.” This is a departure from the previous policy, which was only to share such information with law enforcement on receipt of a court order indicating suspected terrorism charges.
