illegal communication tools
This term seems absurd and disgusting to me.
Chat apps are easy to out together, heck, with a quick google you'll find a tonne you can just deploy for yourself. If you've got bad intentions, you'd be stupid not to.
And with big tech watching along, it only becomes more interesting to make your own. Meanwhile some governments are trying to push trough legislation to scan all your private messages on popular apps like telegram and WhatsApp.
this is not related to the matrix.org matrix, according to this article: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/police-seize-matrix-encrypted-chat-service-after-spying-on-criminals/
Oh wow, this is going to make for some confused and misleading posts and articles in the next few days!
Super helpful, thank you!
I assume this doesn't mean matrix is completely offline now?
It should be noted that MATRIX is a different entity from the secure open-source, decentralized, real-time communications protocol with the same name, which is perfectly legal to continue using.
From the article that @badcodecat@lemux.minnix.dev mentioned ITT.
