isn't the metadata from Matrix public? at least, if federation is on? seems useful to the OSINT community but I'd think public offices would have an issue with existing metadata about who is talking to who and when.
- ranger_danger 11mo agoYes it is, but I think you might be assuming that they are even putting their homeserver on the public internet. But even if it is, then as long as federation is off, nobody else will see any metadata but them.
- Arathorn 11mo agometadata from Matrix is never 'public' (i.e. visible to the public). It's visible to only the admins of the servers participating in a given conversation.
