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
Got proof for that last claim?
I thought their sealed sender feature was meant to prevent exactly this scenario.
