Telegram gives out personal data of administrators of channels that distribute pirated content.
The messenger undertook to do this on a comfortable vessel. As part of the deal with the copyright holder, Telegram transferred names, phone numbers and IP addresses. The court received from Telegram written declarations and tables with data in a sealed form.
The lawsuit against the company was filed by teacher Neetu Singh. She distributed her courses at discount prices or distributed them for free.
Telegram has also been found to detect information about violations of the privacy of the platforms and laws of Singapore where the platforms’ servers are hosted. However, the court did not take this statement into account, since it cannot leave copyright holders “completely defenseless against violators” just because the company decided to link servers outside the country.
On February 14, 2023, the transferred data will be disclosed during the meeting. [TechCrunch]
