Sheesh, the US is sure getting scary. Well, it's a good thing it would be impossible to trace Signal to someone via metadata like a phone number, right? (infosec.pub)

Even State Department-funded Human Rights Watch admits that authorities combine legal and illegal methods to obtain convictions: https://text.hrw.org/report/2018/01/09/dark-side/secret-origins-evidence-us-criminal-cases

Combining dragnet surveillance with device hacking is intended in the design of both tools. Hence, State Department-funded Signal dupes you into handing over your identity as part of the population-centric mapping. In custody, your phone will be hacked when it is taken away if it's important.

Looking at my wardrobe where 95% of the clothes are black. I guess I'm screwed.

Signal, if forced to do so, don't actually have the ability to give the messages within (despite a backdoor in 2019 discovered by Chinese scientists, of which was since removed). That's from what I'm aware of it, at least.
