Sure, Signal can't give out the contents of messages, but it still has the chain of contact.

it doesn't. they've been ordered to hand over data multiple times, and the only thing tied to the phone number they have is 1. time the account has been created and 2. last time the account connected to the server: https://signal.org/bigbrother/

FISA order could require them to collect the data and turn it over, US courts won't be able to to do shit about it.

This is purely I trust signal bro type argument
