SEOUL: Telegram, known as a haven for anonymous communication, is now actively cooperating with South Korean police in criminal investigations, signaling a major policy shift by the platform long associated with untraceable messaging.
According to the Korean National Police Agency on June 29, Telegram has responded to over 95 per cent of South Korean police requests for investigative data since October last year. More than 1,000 sets of user data, including subscriber details and IP logs, have reportedly been provided so far.
