BREAKING: The raids on Diddy's homes are just the start -- the feds are issuing subpoenas to companies doing business with him, aiming to identify anyone with info pertinent to the sex trafficking probe.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ subpoenas -- all bearing Diddy's real name, Sean Combs -- were sent this week to various providers tied to the rapper, including his private charter jet, phone providers and computer companies.
We're told the subpoenas were fired off by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York ... which, as we've reported, is running the investigation.
Our sources say subpoenas will also be issued to commercial airlines, and possibly the FAA, just in case Diddy opted for commercial flights instead of his private jet. READ

Telegram and Signal Havens for Right-Wing Extremists
Since the violent storming of Capitol Hill and subsequent ban of former U.S. President Donald Trump from Facebook and Twitter, the removal of Parler from Amazon’s servers, and the de-platforming of incendiary right-wing content, messaging services Telegram and Signal have seen a deluge of new users. In January alone, Telegram reported 90 million new accounts. Its founder, Pavel Durov, described this as “the largest digital migration in human history.” Signal reportedly doubled its user base to 40 million people and became the most downloaded app in 70 countries. The two services rely on encryption to protect the privacy of user communication, which has made them popular with protesters seeking to conceal their identities against repressive governments in places like Belarus, Hong Kong, and Iran. But the same encryption technology has also made them a favored communication tool for criminals and terrorist groups, including al Qaeda and the Islamic State.
