Matrix CEOs somehow not arrested.
Honestly, that feels like the beginning and end of this story.
Secure communications that are actually secure exist in the EU, are funded by the EU, and used by various EU govermnents (Germany and France have both use Matrix).
Tell me again how this is motivated by trying to get rid of encryption and not that this guy wouldn’t respond to warrants?
Signal and Matrix respond to warrants. WhatsApp responds to warrants. VPNs respond to warrants. They do their best to reduce the amount of information they keep on their users so that the amount of information they have to hand over is minimal.
Tell me again, what’s different here? Because it seems to me like the EU is fine with privacy and encryption but they’re not fine with people ignoring warrants.
