the key part from FTA seems to be "The FTC accused Amazon executives of manually turning on the feature to delete messages in Signal even after the company learned that the FTC was investigating and had told Amazon to keep documents, emails and other messages".
In this case, it really appears that they purposely switched to an ephemeral message service *after* FTC told them to keep all messages.
