They are selling the messing service.. of course not the messages.. I don't know whether that is a problem or not. I don't really think so. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CafeFrog@lemmy.cafe 1 point 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children) It's a downside in my opinion, considering the police in most countries assist in maintaining the control of corporations and authoritarian governments. To offer services to them knowing this is a negative ethical marker for a company. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) Does it matter? The US government recommends Signal for government and service members. As long as a project is open source (i.e. publicly auditable) and the maintainers aren't using the project as a platform for spreading things like fascism or white replacement theory it's not a big problem permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CafeFrog@lemmy.cafe 1 point 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) Personally I think it matters in this case due to the odd way that Matrix is designed to share metadata with all federated servers, which means the one run by Matrix/Element basically has access virtually all metadata on the network, which considering their background, is concerning for me.
