Is there a given reason for this? Is it something they're working on changing? I know very little about cybersecurity, but that sounds like a suboptimal situation.

    • There are efforts to encrypt more information and metadata, and to reduce the extent metadata can be correlated
    • The primary reason that things aren't encrypted is to allow the server to perform necessary parts of the protocol, like deciding who is in a room, what the title of the room is and to whom should messages be delivered.
