If you're a signal user and didn't know about this already, that should tell you everything you need to know about signal.

See https://community.signalusers.org/t/proper-secure-value-secu...

Then read the first line of their terms and privacy policy page which says: "Signal is designed to never collect or store any sensitive information." (https://signal.org/legal/)

Signal loves to brag about the times when the government came to them asking for information only to get turned away because Signal never collected any data in the first place. They still brag about it. It hasn't actually been true for years though. Now they're collecting the exact info the government was asking for and they're protecting that data with a not-very-secure/likely backdoored enclave on the server side, and (even worse) a pin on the client side.
