this is extremely not true. federal authorities can compel the bridge operators to log messages sent over the bridges and disclose them on receipt of a national security letter or other sealed warrant. this is just not the case right now - messages sent between parties on signal cannot be intercepted. that the communication endpoints are vulnerable is and remains true but this creates a new vulnerability in the interlink.
worse:
> currently bridged conversations are not stored end-to-end encrypted in Matrix (they will be in the future)
suggests some kind of re-encryption for storage which appears to resolve the issue but does literally nothing to solve the problem. if the bridges have your keys and can decrypt your messages, you're exposing yourself to attacks on the bridges themselves.
