Tl;dr: Signal gave the court timestamps for three out of nine phone numbers that the court demanded data on. The timestamps were the dates three phone numbers last registered their accounts with Signal. That’s it. That is all the data there was to give.

This is why I use Signal. This is why I donate monthly to Signal.

I tried to donate to signal, but they didn't accept my wise.com virtual credit card. That's the only type of payment I am willing to provide online, can't help it.

Yeah, currently it’s kind of a pain to donate to them. I’m pretty sure it can only be done directly through the app and it’s been a little buggy for me in the past; e.g. where the app claimed I wasn’t a monthly donor when, in fact, I am.

There's other ways to donate to Signal, including crypto listed on their website.

Oh good to know, thank you!
