Unfortunately matrix is a no go for regulated business (read: you might be required to monitor employees and hand over chats to govt.)

  If need be, you can require the use of a Matrix client that doesn’t support end to end encryption, or has support for it disabled. Nothing stopping you from doing that, almost all the clients are FOSS.

    Or add a keylogger/eventstore into the Matrix client.

    Even if End to End encrypted, the client has access to the decrypted content and could log it.

  There is some development in that area. This is from an Element dev, apparently. Not sure if this is very up to date as it’s from about a year ago, but it seems highly topical. https://brendan.abolivier.bzh/matrix-retention-policies/ https://brendan.abolivier.bzh/matrix-retention-policies/ https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/message_retention_policies.md https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/mess...

  Matrix development is mainly funded by providing deployments for regulated business(!) - ie the French state, German armed forces, UK government, DOD etc. If you search for “audit bot” in https://element.io/enterprise/pricing#features https://element.io/enterprise/pricing#features you’ll see all the stuff available for enterprisey deployments from Element.

  You might be, but you might also live in a country where this isn't a thing.

    For some subsets the financial sector, that's highly unlikely.
