Court records reveal that Telegram has provided user data, including phone numbers, user IDs, and IP addresses, to U.S. authorities. This is a significant shift from Telegram's previous stance, following the arrest of CEO Pavel Durov in August 2024. The data was provided in response to a U.S. court order, with Telegram stating it was done 'voluntarily' and not acknowledging U.S. legal jurisdiction. The case involves Mahmoud Al-Muhtadi, charged with participating in an attack on Israel. As of January, Telegram has provided data for 2,253 users to the U.S.
