📱 Telegram could give away your IP address
Recently, Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, made some statements on his telegram channel as usual, but something stood out that caught people's attention:
We have made it clear that IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate our rules may be disclosed to relevant authorities in response to valid legal requests.
In reference to Telegram's own terms and conditions.
He also points out:
Telegram Search is meant for finding friends and discovering news, not promoting illegal products. We won't let bad actors compromise the integrity of our platform
Many now argue that Telegram has therefore changed after the arrest of Pavel Durov.
The reality is that ANY COMPANY, and I repeat, any company you use will have to obey the rule of law.
And in the event of any legal request, your IP address and/or telephone number will be provided if applicable.
Although you can protect yourself with a good VPN /TOR and/or a temporary phone number.
