The US and many other countries have been buying Israeli surveillance tools for years or decades.
I would hope that any message archiving is being done on an organization-owned server though.

There's compelling evidence that the messages all pass through TM servers before being archived. https://www.404media.co/the-signal-clone-the-trump-admin-uses-was-hacked/ https://www.404media.co/the-signal-clone-the-trump-admin-use...

- Klonoar 2y agoThe E2E encryption is likely not even relevant, unless I'm missing something? The builds that are distributed would likely just send the plaintext un-encrypted message separately to the archive, and I'm guessing that means it goes right to TM servers before being dispatched elsewhere.
