Telegram's New Terms of Service: What You Should Know

The changes to Telegram's Terms of Service (TOS) are perhaps the most telling. In the past, Telegram only agreed to share user information with authorities if they received a court order that confirmed you were a terror suspect. That was a pretty narrow definition.

The updated TOS states that they may share your IP address and phone number with authorities if you're involved in criminal activities that violate the Telegram TOS. It has a broader scope and includes a legal analysis of each request, suggesting a more nuanced approach to sharing information.

Telegram has also committed to publishing a quarterly transparency report that will disclose when user information has been shared with authorities.
