    I am looking to get Telegram transparency data for Q2 2026 from as many countries as possible in the world, here is what I have so far. If you have a Telegram account with a phone number from a country not in the list, could you please get a screenshot from the Telegram @transparency bot and send it to me, either here, by email (tek AT randhome.io) or on github https://github.com/Te-k/telegram-transparency ? (Report are appreciated) Thanks Mastodon! https://te-k.github.io/telegram-transparency/
