      Does signal meta data allow for signal to time stamp witu who you communicate using their app and servers?

      No. They use your phone number as your identifier (unfortunately, probably for spam evasion) and the only piece of metadata they keep is the last time that # connected to the server.

      We know this because Signal has disclosed subpoenas publicly.

      Side note

      No its not.

      PR like that costs about 15k fyi

      …and? My question remains.

          Verge doesn’t run flulf for free.

          The Verge makes money the same way almost every modern media publication does; advertising to their readers.
