Hey all -

Just curious if anyone has seen a notice related to the news below. Reporting says hundreds sent out and that in most cases the tech companies have to notify the person and give time to contest it. So it would be good to get a clear example of these admin subpoena notices so we can all be on the lookout:

Thank you!

    check your contacts app before stating such things. I’m not stating that signal sends your data to facebook and such, but that signal is registering info into the OS for convenience, that will also he visible to other apps with the privilege granted, including those of facebook

        sorry, I think I was wrong. signal/molly only attaches that information to a contact when it already has the phone number that they use for signal.

        so unless you keep your phone number visible on signal, or you share your phone number in another way, this shouldn’t be a problem.
