I know Lemmy hates telegram but it should be common knowledge that all platforms process requests from authorities.

The repeated posting of this story the last few days seems artificial.
I think the point is not that Telegram (the company) sucks, it is that Telegram (the app) sucks. A proper messenger like Signal leaves the provider with no information to hand over.
Many people still seem to be under the false impression that Telegram is private, so it's worth spreading around.
