==Incidents== This messaging client has multiple incidents of selling data, and history of being a hub for bad actors, a gateway to share CSAM, and having drug trafficking and terrorism on its platform. This is a list of all consumer protection incidents related to this product. Any incidents not mentioned here can be found in the [[:Category:{{PAGENAME}}|{{PAGENAME}} category]]. ===Sudden change of stance on selling data when pressured (2024)=== {{Main|https://edition.cnn.com/2024/09/23/tech/telegram-ceo-durov-arrest-user-data-changes}} Telegram was known for not selling information, and having a pretty tight fist on its clients data and information, even towards the authorities. After Pavel Durov's arrest in France in 2024, Telegram started sharing user data,Β IP addresses, and phone numbers more freely to the authorities for criminal investigations, and to governments that requested such data.
