Signal uses AWS as a backend. It also uses firebase for push notifications by default, meaning Google can tell whenever you get a notification!

So... should I just turn off Signal's notifications?

You could use Molly-FOSS, a fork of the signal client, to use Unifiedpush and receive notifications through a provider like ntfy (selfhostable) or sunup (which uses Mozilla by default)

Tracker Detector also found Amazon, Google AND Microsoft trackers at MollyFoss.
