Such a weird way of saying they haven't disclosed data. They might say they disclosed the data by writing the user's details on a piece of paper and submitting that to the government.
Telegram says with the E2E chats they had no data to share, but that only refers to the content of the chats, obviously not the IP address or the linked phone number, which Telegram says it can also share with governments. When they mention later in the paragraph that they didn't share any data from unencrypted chats, that's with the caveat.
That Telegram has shared _more_ than just metadata I think is unlikely.
