The problem is that the vast majority of Matrix users are on the same server. So if you have a public or private room, most likely one of them will join your room from said server, thereby collecting and uploading all your room data to said server. Because of this, their servers probably contain the metadata of 99% of the Matrix-verse. Which is then very interesting to, and highly susceptible to, dragnet operations from various 3-letter agencies.
Realistically it’s not a huge threat, and a huge step up from some other platforms, but it is undesirable for sure.
If it’s a public room, all info is public. I don’t understand it, sorry.
All info is not public. Your IP address is not public.
You don’t publicly share private room info with anyone not associated wih the room
It doesn’t have to be public to be subpoenaed by an authority.
That’s not what you initially said. There’s ahuge difference between a gov and a random server
My initial reply was 1000% about your Metadata being available for exploitation by the government.
Even if not directly, it will be used in computer models designed to profile you for further targeting like they already are in Pasco county.
