I don’t think we need yet another topic discussing Signal’s weaknesses and flaws. There are plenty of topics about this already.
The fact that governments can only get access to useless data was always dumb and still is dumb. What matters is what data Signal can access and see, not what data they store.
Who gives a duck if a VPN or Signal doesn’t store logs but could be forced to or those logs can be obtained by compromising a server, etc.
The fact that people use these government requests as a selling point for Signal is a meme, in my opinion.
