@amatecha@merveilles.town @matrix @liaizon@wake.st https://element.io/blog/the-online-safety-bill-an-attack-on-encryption gives an idea of our position. And no, there are no backdoors. Yes, we fund Matrix dev by selling encrypted messaging to governments, which includes police: if you don’t like that then please feel free to use a different app.

    I think you interpreted Element’s comment incorrectly.

    They sell messaging services to police and government. They aren’t saying they sell your messages to police and gov’t here.

    If your ethics convey you to avoid using services that have any involvement or benefit to police/gov’t, you can choose not to use Element’s services.
