If I know someone on Signal I can now check if they’ve left the country.

Or send this to a bunch of signal users whom you suspect one of them being a particular person, and if you know that the person you are looking for is going to travel you can send it once before and once after. Then see which of these users were in the home city and subsequently in the destination city.

A VPN obfuscates this. Assuming a target is even remotely aware, you might think they are in Australia, while they're actually in Nova Scotia
