Telegram announces new measures to help track potential criminals using its app messaging.

Just a few weeks after the arrest of its CEO in France, the Telegram application announces that it is working on a feature in order to further track potential users sought by the courts.

The official website and the Telegram application have carried out a small update &up to date within their general conditions with the following mention:  “If Telegram receives a request from a judicial authority confirming that a suspect in a criminal case is violating the rules of using Telegram, the application will be able to conduct a forensic analysis of the request and deliver the suspect's IP address and phone number to the relevant authorities.”

En In other words, the various judicial authorities will now be able to send Telegram a request to obtain information on potential criminals who use the application. The company then undertakes to communicate the suspect's IP address as well as their personal telephone number in order to help the competent authorities.

This new rule should therefore not concern a large majority of users. The site 404Media noted in particular that this change only impacted criminals suspected of terrorist acts. Other offenses are therefore not affected.

This announcement is a first step for Telegram, which has committed to fighting more actively against criminal networks that use the application. A fact that has often been singled out as the messaging service has become a haven of choice for all sorts of operations and discussions on the edge of legality. and endowed with very low moderation.
