I don’t have a problem with the org offering services to law enforcement, governments, businesses, etc. Funding like this is how they are able to pay the bills without turning to venture capital or user exploitation.

I did see the GN video. They explicitly stated that they didn’t find a hard link. And, as you pointed out, Amdocs stopped funding almost a decade ago.

You seem to have made up your mind, though. I won’t try to change it.

Amdocs stopped funding it, but Martix and the company developing Element are both still made up of ex-Amdocs people. If they are connected to Israeli intelligence, it’s not as though they suddenly aren’t potential agents just because they stopped being officially funded by Amdocs.

I find it irritating that element’s website promotes their origins as the creators of matrix but doesnt anywhere actually give names that could be researched. Yes i could get the directors details from Companies House but frankly its just easier for me to move on and not use their software.

If you want to do a background check, you’ll probably want to start with Matthew Hodgson.

He is very open and communicative about his role in Matrix, so I would be surprised if you didn’t find him with just a little bit of reading/searching.

Most of the names you can find by looking at the Git history of Element’s repos - but that seems a bit stalkerish to people that have private lives to me.

Doesn’t Matrix also have ties to AI/cryptobro bullshit too?

Not that I’m aware of. The only Discord alternative that I know for sure is associated with Crypto is Valour.
