 Isn’t that the same level of data Signal provides to LEO requests?

 Signal does not have access to messages as they are end-to-end encrypted. Signal servers could access metadata (who's talking to who and when) but historically they have a good track record: https://signal.org/bigbrother

 my point was that they both provide IP and phone number to LEO requests  but from a trust model Telegram is worse because they can access the messages but Signal cant.

of course  WHAT is being shared may be less important than what they are capable of sharing.
