    You’re response amounts to “Okay, so what if it was created and funded by an Israeli company known for espionage? They spun it off into a non-profit, which somehow removes any connection between those two things now.”

    As to Element, they are, in their own words, made up of ex-Matrix Staff.

    They’re legally distinct entities if that matters, but they’re still from the same likely compromised institution.

    If you like Matrix and find absolutely nothing concerning about the connections of the two most influential entities in that space, than by all means, carry on.

    For myself, I’ll stick with XMPP or Deltachat.

      Yes, by definition, but we can keep going.

      [BIG PICTURE TO PROVE NOTHING]

      You can’t reject the Matrix Foundation because it’s a non-profit. There is no credible evidence that Israel (government or intelligence agencies) funds or controls Matrix as a protocol.

      If you like Matrix and find absolutely nothing concerning about the connections of the two most influential entities in that space, than by all means, carry on.

      If you write a client that uses a protocol to communicate over the internet, you better stick to that protocol, no? I mean, think about it for a second? What’s wrong with youuuu? lol
