   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.   
      
   "Western liberal democracies" cannot tolerate any corner of the internet   
   allowing free speech.
