Telegram agreed to share user data with law enforcement in cases of fraud and other cybercrimes in September 2024 .

The encrypted communications provider said it would only share data with the cops in terrorism cases.

The company's CEO Pavel Durov was arrested in August and released on a $5 million bond.

Experts predicted the additional pressure on Telegram would have little effect on cybercrime operations.
