> Signal is very proud that once a long time ago the state came to them asking for user data and signal could only tell them they had no data to provide.

Have you looked at https://signal.org/bigbrother/ recently? There are five instances of this, one as recent as November 2021.

Signal has the data being requested but they'd have to brute force a user's pin or use an exploit to get to it. Routine requests aren't going to compel them to take those actions and national security letters aren't going to be published on their website.
