- Sunspark 6y agoI understand Google Chrome can be used to view objectionable illegal content.
- Spivak 6y agoIt’s not that the app can be used to view the content. It’s that Matrix apps are basically matrix.org clients with an option to use another home server if you want. If you followed the default onboarding you get a Matrix.org account. It’s the default blessed server from the project. So Element will now forever get blowback from public content hosted on Matrix.org.
- tjalfi 6y agoOlder protocols such as HTTP are grandfathered in; if the web was invented last week, browsers probably would be blocked periodically.
- Spivak 6y agoElement is a Matrix.org client that lets users choose another server if they want. And Matrix.org hosts public chatrooms. So the fate of Element is tied to content hosted by Matrix.org.
