  That goes for all US tech companies and has been that way at least since 2001.

    So, no way I’m trusting Signal

      If/when Signal has complied historically, they hand over what they have…which is to say, pretty much nothing.

      I’ll take Signal any day over private Facebook chat, Whatsapp, or even telegram.

      They have a page dedicated to everything they have given over to the US government: signal.org/bigbrother/

      Signal themselves cannot decrypt the messages, so they are literally not able to provide any substantial information to the government. They can literally only provide two timestamps, when the user registered and the last time they connected to the server.

      the only information we can produce in response to a request like this is the date and time a user registered with Signal and the last date of a user’s connectivity to the Signal service.

      If it’s truly E2EE, then it doesn’t matter if they’re forced to hand over the data.

        It is well and truly E2EE. They have a page on their site dedicated to what information they have given to courts/government bodies: signal.org/bigbrother
