Are you trying to turn this into "So, they got exactly what they wanted! Signal cooperated and are thus not secure!"?

That is not what I'm trying, no. Sorry if it came across like that.
My point is, that this isn't an effective proof of a zero knowledge approach. In their blogpost, Signal says they don't store anything, but this specific instance of a search warrant doesn't serve to prove that.
It is great of them that they publish when and what they are asked to disclose, that practice is definitly appreciated. I do trust Signal, it is my main messenger.
This is just not the stresstest @Fuzzy_Red_Panda@lemm.ee makes it out to be in the top comment, imo.
