Authorities don't need to ask Signal for metadata; Signal promises they don't log any themselves and that is probably true.
But, they outsource their server operation to Jeff Bezos, and then they do some absurd security theater to pretend that cryptography makes it so that the server (Amazon) couldn't possibly log metadata - which is obviously false.
You think Bozos has access to information that Signal does not?
