Everyday just makes me love the EU more and more.
😏next will be replaceable batteries, alternative App Stores and messengers who have to use a open protocol for chat (open in a sense that different chat apps can Talk to each other, but the privacy is still protected. Like eMail but with end to end encryption)
The word you’re looking for is “federated”.
It's not, really. They're not being forced to interoperate or adopt a standard intermediary protocol, just to publish APIs. WhatsApp and iMessage will still be totally separate services if they want to be.
Interoperability is also a word you can use Crosscompatible Lots of cromulent words.
And a hefty backdoor for the government to put it's dirty little naily fingers in
I hope that the protocol is open source and approved by trusted privacy protection peoples everywhere in the world. But yea, better everyone would have their own matrix servers, I agree.
Which government? There isn't just one in the EU.
Or are you talking about the US government?
I live in the EU so yes I know
I was talking about an abstract entity government not any government in particular
The EU is quite awesome, eh? They are so nice! (/s)
For real, babe.
