MOSCOW — The Telegram encrypted messenger app said Tuesday said it would cooperate with investigators in terror probes when ordered by courts, except in Russia where it is locked in an ongoing battle with authorities. The company founded by Russian Pavel Durov has refused to provide authorities in the country with a way to read its communications and was banned by a Moscow court in April as a result. But in its updated privacy settings, Telegram said it would disclose its users’ data to “the relevant authorities” elsewhere if it receives a court order to do so, although not in Russia. “If Telegram receives a court order that confirms you’re a terror suspect, we may disclose your IP address and phone number to the relevant authorities,” Telegram’s new privacy settings said. “So far, this has never happened.

He added that since Telegram is illegal...

The most recent change, inspired in part by actress Jennifer Aniston’s experiences, raises the penalties for aggressive driving by paparazzi from mere infractions to misdemeanors punishable by up to six months in jail and a $2,500 fine. The newlyweds are two of the world’s hottest celebrities right now and law enforcement officials who have hoped for a situation to test the new laws think they may get one when the perfect storm of British and Los Angeles celebrity photographers jockey for shots of the royal couple. “We want to make sure everybody has a safe trip,” Los Angeles police Sgt. Mitzi Fierro said. She said that would extend to residents and the public, not just the heavily-guarded royal couple. Beginning Friday morning, police plan to close the street of the British consul-general’s home in Hancock Park, where the couple will stay on their weekend visit. Officers have already obtained “No Trespass” letters from neighbors, which will be...
