    What exactly is the cooperation that Signal was doing beforehand? Signal claims to collect very little data so I’m not sure how exactly they help?

      Russia was caught running a bunch of side channel and phishing attacks using malicious QR codes. Presumably signal could help track these patterns in terms of time and place, to help isolate where espionage activity was occuring.

        Except Signal should not have that data. They claim they do not log that information, so it should be impossible for them to do that.

        Unless signal is lying, that’s not something they can do.

      so I’m not sure how exactly they help?

      I would say yes, that you are not sure how exactly they help, if I’m answering your question as written.
