I already self host my own matrix server. Everybody can’t do that, but everybody can use someone’s matrix server. They can’t shut it down because it’s decentralised and federated. It would theoretically be illegal to use but I don’t see how they would be able to stop it.

Email with PGP would then also be illegal but impossible to effectively stop. That’s why the whole discussion is so stupid. It only hurts the normies. Criminals and tech savvy people will find a way around it and still use encryption without mandated backdoors.

I’ve heard about this and wanted to hear your opinion on it because you seemed to have gotten to another conclusion than I have. But it seems that you’re not interested in discussing so I’m no longer interested

Yes I’m asking for the reason why you think this development is good. It seemed to me like it could have worked out if they talked it out and could have added something of value to the OS

Why?
