> references itself as a source

This might be a 'germanism'. The article says 'according to SPIEGEL information' which translates to 'according to undisclosed sources that gave us information'

> cooperating and not cooperating

Recently there was a huge controversy about Telegram in Germany about them not disclosing personal information about accounts spreading illegal information according to German law. There were claims about banning Telegram in Germany, but after pressuring the app stores, Telegram seems to have given in slightly. So they are still not disclosing as much information as the authorities want them to, but it seems like they started to cooperate a bit.

>data or metadata

'Nutzerdaten' in my understanding means mostly personal Data(real name, ip, address) but you are right, it is quite vague.
