All of a sudden, it seems really stupid that telegram stores all their data unencrypted and waiting for a court order. I expect them to fight this, because they have a very good track record there, but the moment they capitulate the floodgates will open.

You expect them to fight this after they have now disclosed all of the data? That's quite a high amount of optimism from you.
Have they disclosed the data? I think the title of the article is misleading. In the content, it says that they have been ordered by a court to disclose the data, but not that they have (they have in other cases though).
The article goes on to say:

> Justice Prathiba M. Singh in the order dated November 24 said the names of admins, the phone numbers and IP addresses of some of the channels as are available with Telegram have been supplied.

Of course, I can't independently verify this, but the article claims pretty clearly that the data has already been provided.
