They require identifiable information on sign-up, log it permanently.
you no longer need a phone number to sign up (the only identifiable info they USED to require, and they don’t log it forever.
and they will and do happily provide it upon police request.
nope.
Even if they don't provide direct access to your conversations (questionable at this point),
they literally can’t. it’s encrypted, open source, and the code has passed peer review many times.

you are imagining shit.
ill happily say it again.

BUT every pipe leaks at both ends. If you have a snitch in the group chat, or someone gets access to a phone of an activist, then they’re in.
one reason why disappearing messages is so important.
fuck fud
