Well, Matrix is incorporated in the UK, not a member state of the EU, and Switzerland also isn’t a member state of the EU.

- rad_gruchalski 2y agoI'm referring to the following: >> @amelius: Can't the EU make their own messaging app? > @tptackek: Wasn't Matrix in the running for this? Three points: 1) From https://matrix.org/foundation/about/ https://matrix.org/foundation/about/: The evolution of Matrix is managed through an open governance process, looked after by The Matrix.org Foundation - a non-profit UK Community Interest Company, incorporated to act as the neutral guardian of the standard on behalf of the whole Matrix community. 2) Matrix is a protocol, not a messaging app. 3) UK is no longer EU. Read it however you like, I'm simply pointing out that private efforts in non-EU member states are difficult to roll under "EU effort to create their own messaging app".
