404 Media’s October 16, 2026 report says a newly filed court record contains a letter in which Telegram provided U.S. authorities with one user’s phone number, user ID, and IP address after a court order. 404 Media

A post repeating the report adds that Telegram had given U.S. authorities data on 2,253 users as of the previous January, but that figure appears in a social post and is not substantiated in the article text available here. X post
