Three words borne of cynicism. Everyone here is focusing on exactly three words as opposed to the point of my message. Signal logs phone numbers required on sign-up and associates them with user accounts. A “legal” warrant can easily acquire this information and potentially nullify any anonymization Signal provides. Signal doesn’t have to require or retain this potentially identifiable information, but they do anyway.
