After the arrest, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov updated the app's security and privacy policies, the IP addresses and phone numbers of those who violate rules can be disclosed to authorities in valid legal requests. A significant change considering that Telegram was considered one of the applications with a somewhat higher level of anonymity.
They claim it was their decision, but apparently, the arrest pushed the matter.
It may be a good thing in detecting scams, but it will significantly affect all businesses that rely on anonymity on Telegram.
Durov's (CEO of Telegram) article regarding the Telegram Terms of Service and Privacy Policy:
https://t.me/durov/345Just as expected on which these kind of scenarios is really just that not surprising or shocking anymore on which government would really be always targeting out the owner/CEO of such platforms on which
they do seem that really that having that anonymity and other correlated aspects or simply talking into those things that they cant be able to monitor or control on. Government would really be
trying out to make some issues as if they were really that truly legit but since there are some lawsuits and other issues been raised up then as an owner then there's no way that you could be able to
argue into those things that files against you. Now that we are already into such condition then government will really be that making this as an opportunity to make things to be traceable.
Their last step? Of course they will really be making things to be regulated and centralized on which we've seen above that IP addresses and whatever information that could be extract with
will really be used on monitoring. Detecting or catching out some scams is really just that an alibi.
