> Telegram to temporarily refuse data requests from Hong Kong courts amid security law

The headline you linked makes it clear it was temporary. Which mean they do of course cooperate in normal situation. Otherwise they would be blocked everywhere, you cannot maintain a service such as a chat application without cooperating with governments.

There is no story here, Telegram shared information with BKA in cases of terrorism and child abuse, as every service operating in Germany would and should do.




I agree that they should, the story is that they can. Err, not a story, it’s a known fact that they don’t encrypt communication.
