Telegram announced on Monday that they will hand over users' IP addresses and phone numbers in response to "valid legal requests" from governments around the world. Telegram has been a thorn in the side of governments for years now for allowing free speech and French President Emmanuel Macron appears to have solved that "problem" by having Telegram founder Pavel Durov arrested and indicted.
