Signal is an encrypted messenger and it uses push notifications by default on many mobile devices. I would briefly describe it as a bug that these can be read by goverments:

No they can't: "First: push notifications for Signal NEVER contain sensitive unencrypted data & do not reveal the contents of any Signal messages or calls–not to Apple, not to Google, not to anyone but you & the people you're talking to." https://x.com/mer__edith/status/1734320963074797917?s=20
