…and leak my message content, IP address and social network to everyone who cares to look? You're making a very broad claim here and implicitly assume a very specific threat model. I can come up with dozens of other threat models that are more relevant to me and everyone I know and that completely invalidate your statement.
- MayeulC 6y ago> …and leak my message content, IP address and social network to everyone who cares to look Would you care detailing this? - Private conversations are E2EE by default now, group chats can be E2EE. - IP addresses are not leaked except when videoconferencing. This is also the case on Signal, mind you, unless you opt-in to use their proxy in the settings. - Social networks? Care to explain that? - Who is everyone? Your server admin? Your ISP? Someone MITMing your HTTPS connections? I do not doubt the rest of your post, but the above criticism is just unfair, given what I know of the Matrix protocol. Of course, I could be mistaken.
