We tested the end-to-end encrypted messenger’s new feature aimed at addressing critics’ most persistent complaint. Here’s how it works.

    It’s the signal metadata that they want to keep associated with an identity

    They still can fulfill government requests for who is talking to who and how often

      Only the recipient number has been in the messages, so unless Signal servers have been compromised, and they’ve figured out how to associate sender IP addresses with phone numbers, and they’ve never been caught by the multiple government demands from them… I think it’s fair to say

      1. they probably don’t keep these logs, and
      2. they made it about as hard as possible to do

      Got proof for that last claim?

      I thought their sealed sender feature was meant to prevent exactly this scenario.
