Telegram wallet app enables law enforcement evidence collection

Telegram's Wallet app now supports law enforcement evidence collection, according to its updated FAQ page. The app will review requests from law enforcement on a case-by-case basis and cooperate in disclosing information, in compliance with internal policies and applicable laws. The FAQ update coincides with other changes, including restrictions for UK customers and the platform's decision to provide user IP addresses and phone numbers to authorities when legally required. Telegram is also introducing new moderation tools to identify and remove harmful content. These changes come as CEO Pavel Durov faces legal challenges in France.
