What we disclosed
No user data. We do not have messages, contact lists, account details, phone numbers or logs of who connected to which relay, so there was nothing to disclose.
Notes
Police in a European country seized a server running a partner relay, as part of an unrelated investigation into its hosting provider. The relay held no readable messages and no logs. Its keys were revoked within the hour, and the operator listed a replacement two weeks later. The server was returned, unopened, in 2019.
