    It is a centralized weak point that US feds can easily extract meta data from to obtain your social network etc

      A bigger weak point is having weak encryption like Session has. Also, you cannot obtain metadata from Signal. They’ve gone to great length to prevent that. Signal servers don’t even know who is talking to whom.

      easily extract metadata

      That’s a pretty big claim to make with zero additional information.

      Since 2018, Signal has been encrypting the sender data with a key that isn’t known to the server. Messages do not contain unencrypted metadata. I’m not sure how you expect the FBI to do this with the information available to the Signal servers.

          at role does the signal server play?

          If this is a question that you need answered then I’m not sure you’re qualified to declare that Signal is insecure.
