Matrix 2.0: The Future of Matrix
Regular reminder Matrix/Element work closely with law-enforcement to provide encrypted comms for them.  It's a sector Matrix/Element actively markets to and deals with.  My personal view is I'm not using a chat platform designed/developed by an organization so eager to partner with governments and law enforcement agencies.<p>There's Element's Chief Product Officer & Managing Director presenting at the European Police Congress[0]:  <a href="https://mastodon.matrix.org/@element/110310853505977058" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mastodon.matrix.org/@element/110310853505977058</a><p>And a quick post about their excitement at participating in this conference:  <a href="https://mastodon.matrix.org/@element/110304013472307767" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mastodon.matrix.org/@element/110304013472307767</a><p>I mean, whatever, it's just doing business, right?  When someone criticized this, they gave a snarky, surprisingly unprofessional response:  <a href="https://mastodon.matrix.org/@matrix/110334695988903649" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mastodon.matrix.org/@matrix/110334695988903649</a><p>Dunno about anyone else but my trust in them is just gone.  I'm not saying you have to care (and I don't care if you do).  I'm sharing this for the people who <i>do</i> care, and don't want to use "secure messaging" made by people who actively market to and collaborate closely with law enforcement and governments.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.european-police.eu/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.european-police.eu/</a>
