It might be an unpopular opinion but I am in principle OK. However, it would be really great if telegram would automatically report any of such requests after an embargo period of e.g. even 6 month to the subject of the request. Further they should always require a court order, which should be straight forward in most countries. The worst thing about government actors is their intransparency. Even in Germany we had Nazi police officers requesting personal addresses of human rights attorneys. All this only gets noticed pretty much by chance.
