Wasn't France the one that started switching to Matrix and funded a bunch of improvements?

It's great that Germany is doing the same, I just remember Matrix talking about money from France and helping the French government deploy Matrix for government use back in the day. A lot of the E2E encryption improvements were attributed to their collaboration with France at the time
France is such a bizare country... They enforce E2E encryption and at the same time try to break E2E encryption?
:/
I don't think France tried to break E2E yet? Some political groups repeatedly submit law projects through the democratic process, but as long as it doesn't pass I think the best we can say is that France is against.
Yes and the French administration has access to a modified version of Matrix called Tchap.
Ya.
