I don't understand this sentences. It's quite obvious that Google is collecting way more information than Signal and almost anyone else. I'm curious, what did you mean?

I suppose he refers to information collected with the Signal app alone. The thing is that all information that is sent via Google is encrypted, so it's not of much use. I only wonder how the connection between two clients is setup, and if Google gets to know which Google user talks to which other Google user.
