I think you'd be hard-pressed to guarantee security against a nation state. Even if it's "the government is tracking your SIM on the cell network," it's a pretty bold claim that your threat model includes well-funded government actors.
Glad you like it!

My intent with that statement was not to mean that one would be protected from a nation state that has turned all its attention to you. I think that's an impossible level of security to guarantee. Signal could not even guarantee such a thing. The intent in the statement is that "a government agency can't simply send Zood a National Security Letter or some other coercive legal document and expect Zood to turn over location data about users". And that's because Zood doesn't handle user location data; there simply isn't anything to be turned over.
The goal with Zood is to create software that allows regular people to conduct their digital lives without giving up all their privacy and dignity. To prevent further expansion of the surveillance economy. The goal is not to build software that defends wanted individuals (whether right or wrong) from nation state actors. That's not something that I think any single technology company can provide.
