The article refers to a Reuters article where this quote comes from: https://www.reuters.com/technology/iraq-unblock-telegram-app...

What you "think" doesn't have any value to me. You are some anonymous person on the internet who might be just another Telegram fan. Meanwhile, a reputable source states what I said above and since it's not the first time Telegram works with Governments, I'd say it is very plausible that they did so.

No need to go off topic. This is from your own linked article.

"We can confirm that our moderators took down several channels sharing personal data. However, we can also confirm that no private user data was requested from Telegram and that none has been shared."

This is the same statement they gave after Spiegel exposed them working with German feds: https://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/apps/telegram-gibt-nutzerdat... and therefore is quite worthless.

>and therefore is quite worthless.

You are making an assumption that their statement is false without evidence.

Just making that clear.

I quoted evidence that they already worked with other governments. It is you who has no evidence that the statement by the Iraq Government is false.

Just making that clear.
