THANKS ---- Michael Janich ( talk) 08:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
Michael, this might answer your last question; a paragraph of new content from the article:
"On October 4, 2016, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Open Whisper Systems published a series of documents revealing that OWS had received a subpoena requiring them to provide information associated with two phone numbers for a federal grand jury investigation in the first half of 2016. [1] [2] [3] Only one of the two phone numbers was registered on Signal, and because of how the service is designed, OWS was only able to provide "the time the user’s account had been created and the last time it had connected to the service". [2] [1] Along with the subpoena, OWS received a gag order requiring OWS not to tell anyone about the subpoena for one year. [1] OWS approached the ACLU, and they were able to lift part of the gag order after challenging it in court. [1] OWS said it was the first time they had received a subpoena, and that they were committed to treat "any future requests the same way". [3]" Ken K. Smith (a.k.a.

The result of the move request was: moved. No clear consensus on where to retarget the now-redirect "Signal Messenger", suggest taking that to WP:RfD for a discussion on retargeting. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 17:42, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Open Whisper Systems – Requesting a re-renaming of this article to its original name. Based on the amount of available sources, I believe Open Whisper Systems is notable enough to have its own article. It is also temporally distinct from Signal Messenger LLC, which was created five years after the formation of OWS, in 2018. Signal Messenger LLC is now a subsidiary of the
Signal Foundation, which was also created in 2018. I think it would make more sense to have Signal Messenger be a redirect to the
Signal Foundation article instead of Open Whisper Systems.

There is a clear consensus to move here, so what's the hold-up? I am now thinking that I should have just edited this article first and then requested an uncontroversial technical move instead, considering that it was me who originally moved this article incorrectly to its current name. Signal Messenger LLC should have been handled as a subtopic of Signal Technology Foundation from the beginning. -- Dodi 8238 ( talk) 16:15, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
