you did not even read the article that you linked. if you had you wouldn't be saying this.
Signal does not know who, when and where - they barely know when, and not even who or where.
also if you don't agree with me, go and read the Signal codebase, and if you don't like that, self host your own Signal server, or use your own encryption on top of it all.
Also that article is about chat backups, not the safety of your chats in transit or about the privacy of your social graphs on Signal. Nowhere does it mention anything about who, when, or where.
I agree that Signal isn't the best most anonops dark web Tor anonymous hacktivist app or service but, it gives privacy to the masses, and spreading disinfo at a time when people desperately need encryption more than ever is shitty behavior imo.
I love the fact that the information they can provide is basically a couple of reference points that takes up a quarter of a page 🤣
