Podcast: Telegram is Working With the Cops
Telegram says it will now provide user data to the police; the walls are closing in on the Snowflake hacker. With Joseph, Emanuel, and Sam from 404 Media
We have two related stories this week. First, Joseph, Emanuel, and Sam break down their experiences with Telegram, and the social network's massive policy change.
Telegram, known for being a haven for criminals, has made a significant shift in its approach. In a recent privacy policy update, the app announced it will begin sharing IP addresses and phone numbers with authorities in response to valid requests. Or more specifically, the company says it will now 'process valid legal requests' from law enforcement for user data.
After the break, Joseph tells us how the walls are closing in on one of the most disruptive hackers in recent memory.
