You don't need to break encryption to engage in censorship based on unencrypted metadata.
OWS is based in San Francisco. The US federal government has compelled providers to introduce backdoors or start logging information that was not being logged before for certain IP addresses or user identifiers - phone numbers in this case, and done so under gag orders that prevent companies from disclosing it. Judges can rule that use of a warrant canary as intended can violate these gag orders as well.
Just because Signal can share 1 or 2 instances of cases where information was requested and they did not comply does not mean they never have, weren't able to in the past, or aren't able to in the future.
As others have stated, using Signal is putting a lot of trust into the OWS legal entity, and proper cryptosystems should not rely on trust.
I hadn't heard of Molly and am checking it out now, thank you for sharing.
