Any company that takes money from american people has to comply with US laws. This means handing over data, gag orders, etc. Why do you think that TikTok was almost strong-armed into being sold to an american company? US market is just too big. Too much money, too much valuable data. Everybody wants a piece of that
Seeing Telegram hand over user data is concerning, especially for a platform that's been marketed as privacy-focused. While compliance with legal requests is understandable, transparency around these actions is crucial. Users deserve to know how their data is being handled and under what circumstances it can be shared.
