In a significant development, Telegram has shared data on criminal activities with the Dutch Public Prosecution Service for the first time. This collaboration came after prolonged reluctance from the messaging platform. The information pertains to twenty criminal cases involving child pornography and drug trafficking. A spokesperson expressed satisfaction over this change, noting the positive impact of user data visibility in criminal investigations. This shift follows the arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France, where authorities criticized the app for enabling criminal actions. The prosecution remains cautious, hopeful yet skeptical of this newfound cooperation.
