FISA order could be in place and signal disclosed what they were told.
This argument about them producing only two data points is good but it is not a slam dunk arguement everyone makes it to be.
Signal has technical capabilities to time stamp every ineteration you have with another person if it goes through their server. This is internet 101.
So we relying that they don't do this but if US government said do it. They would and Jack shit anyone can do about it.
That is my concern with any US based company. With all the information we have how their government agencies used both legal and illegal means to access data how can you ever think those companies can protect your privacy even if they sincerely want to?
Them being a us company is a very valid concern, and one I share. If I were a dissident, I likely wouldn't use signal just because they're us based.
