What metadata? Signal doesn't store anything about you aside the date you joined and the time of your last ping.

All of those services are completely logged and although "Signal" may not be storing metadata, intelligence services on those networks definitely are.
- uoaei 5y agoData is sent over a network, and has an origin and destination. Of course Signal wouldn't store things like that, but the network administrator wouldn't have much trouble collecting extra metadata such as that on top of what is stored.
