I just realized something. One of the only things contained is the account creation date. How hard would it be for the FBI to pull that text you get at that time/date to activate Signal? Not Impossible I would imagine?

Edit: What raised my eyebrow is that the subpoena specifically asks for that. Why?

Signal does not absolutely require real numbers/ban VoIP/etc. You can theoretically sign up with a cheap VoIP number.
