It's a form of evidence. They were compelled by the law to provide everything they have on a user and the only thing they could provide, because they don't log anything, is the date a user signed up and the last time a client pinged their servers- that's it!

If you can't trust the ACLU, the courts, Signal, cryptography experts, etc, who can you trust?

Is the ACLU denying the evidence posted by Signal? Is the Judge denying the records posted by Signal?

I get that Signal has posted this on their website and it could be faked, but do you realize how crazy it sounds that everyone involved would be in on one of the biggest conspiracy theories regarding secure messengers EVER?

I understand scrutinizing Signal to ensure they're above board, but this is kinda ridiculous.
