#Telegram #IPAddresses #DataDisclosure #PrivacyPolicy #CriminalActivity #LegalRequests #Transparency #Freedom #Privacy #Activism
According to Cointelegraph, Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov has clarified that the instant messaging platform has been disclosing IP addresses and phone numbers of accounts involved in criminal activities for several years. Durov addressed his followers on Oct. 2, explaining that his recent post about these disclosures might have been misunderstood as a major change in Telegram's operations. However, he emphasized that this practice has been in place since 2018.
Durov stated that Telegram has been complying with legal requests for data disclosures in accordance with its privacy policies in most countries. He explained that whenever Telegram received a properly formed legal request, the company would verify it and disclose the IP addresses and phone numbers of dangerous criminals. This process has been ongoing long before the recent announcement.
Durov provided data from Telegram’s Transparency Bot, which tracks the number of processed requests for data disclosures from authorities. For instance, in Brazil, Telegram disclosed data for 75 legal requests in Q1 2024, 63 in Q2, and 65 in Q3. In India, Telegram's largest market, the company satisfied 2461 legal requests in Q1, 2151 in Q2, and 2380 in Q3.
Durov also emphasized that Telegram's core principles have not changed. The company continues to streamline and unify its privacy policy across different countries while striving to comply with relevant local laws, as long as they do not conflict with Telegram's values of freedom and privacy. He reiterated that Telegram was built to protect activists and ordinary people from corrupt governments and corporations, and the platform does not allow criminals to abuse its services or evade justice.#Telegram #IPAddresses #DataDisclosure #PrivacyPolicy #CriminalActivity #LegalRequests #Transparency #Freedom #Privacy #Activism

🚀 Julian Assange's Family Highlights Financial Efforts At Plan B Forum
#JulianAssange #AssangeFamily #PlanBForum #Extradition #Freedom #AssangeDAO #Bitcoin #Crypto #LegalFees #WikiLeaks #BTC
According to Cointelegraph, Julian Assange’s family members took the stage at the Plan B Forum in Lugano, Switzerland, to discuss the extensive efforts behind fighting his extradition to the United States and securing his freedom. The campaign, which spanned 14 years, incurred costs exceeding $30 million.
The panel featured Julian’s wife, Stella Assange, his father, John Shipton, and his half-brother, Gabriel Shipton. Gabriel elaborated on the significant financial resources required for the campaign, stating, 'We're looking at upwards of $30 million, just across campaign costs, campaigning fees, legal fees. It was a global campaign with tens of thousands of individual donations and larger donations from some very wealthy Bitcoiners.' He also highlighted the role of the decentralized autonomous organization AssangeDAO, which included 10,000 individual members who contributed to the cause.
The financial burden of securing Assange’s release was previously disclosed by AssangeDAO member Silke Noa, who revealed that the DAO spent $37 million on legal fees and awareness campaigns. In June 2024, Bitcoiners once again supported Assange following his release from custody. Prohibited from boarding commercial flights, Assange had to charter a private plane from the United Kingdom to Australia, costing $520,000. An anonymous Bitcoiner donated more than eight Bitcoin (BTC), valued at $520,000 at the time, to cover these travel expenses.
Crypto assets have played a crucial role for WikiLeaks since 2010, when former United States President Barack Obama declared the organization’s reporting illegal. Following this declaration, the US State Department directed payment processing companies and financial institutions to cease providing services to WikiLeaks, aiming to shut down the whistleblower outlet.#JulianAssange #AssangeFamily #PlanBForum #Extradition #Freedom #AssangeDAO #Bitcoin #Crypto #LegalFees #WikiLeaks #BTC
