Matrix were funded by Protocol Labs (IPFS, Filecoin crypto) and by the guy that started Skype and Kazaa.
It is well known from Snowden docs (and earlier!) that Skype had a government backdoor.
Kazaa was also loaded with spyware.
Matrix is institutionally compromised.
@jebba @aral @jalcine @element @amatecha @matrix @liaizon Matrix was created & initially funded at Amdocs. When funding got cut, creators started a company which became Element. You may disagree w/ what Element does as a company, but Matrix (protocol) is #FOSS. U can review homesevers' code, u can review spec, u can even review Element apps' code, & u can use other 3rd party clients w/o touching Element. Ur friends & enemies use FOSS. That's what it means to be free & open. Anyone can use it.
@viktor @jebba @aral @jalcine @element @amatecha @matrix @liaizon "You can look at their code" is not really a thing for encryption.
Sure, I can *look*. Very few people can understand it well enough to find a backdoor or a vulnerability. The US' NSA put a vuln in a FOSS symmetrical encryption algorythm and no-one found it for *years*.
