Sheesh, the US is sure getting scary. Well, it's a good thing it would be impossible to trace Signal to someone via metadata like a phone number, right?

What evidence do you have that Signal collects anything? Traffic logs from the app or something?
You can check if a number is registered with Signal just by having Signal and starting a chat with that number
They changed that. You can make yourself undiscoverable by just the number now
This is as shady as Telegram to me tbqh
