Sorta controversial opinion (please read carefully and don't block)

@asahi95 there's a lot of reactionary stuff on here, I can respect that there's precedent but cutting tech and companies off the instant they interact with LEO might not be the way. Idk

@arichtman It's that the problem is, people immediately decide that "this software or company is no good because they interact with XXX" before even trying to fully read through it

I get that some police forces have done some bad things, I understand the reaction, but no company is ever gonna betray you like that

@asahi95 The police is trying to undermine encryption, and Element is okay with that. No one is saying they're working together, but they clearly support the police

(also, "am not opposed to police" is block worthy! the only reason you're allowed to have that bi flag in your name is that bricks were thrown at the police. "not being opposed" is supporting, there is no inbetween)

@luna First of all, how is the police trying to undermine encryption? I honestly have never seen any proof of this anywhere and I'm not denying that, I just wonder like how?

(Also, am I suppose to side with one side?)

@asahi95 It's pretty public, they're constantly trying to break it or get access to backdoors, and many places are trying to outlaw it altogether (notably the US EARN IT act and UK's Online Safety bill)

You already sided with one side when you said you're not against the police

@luna I'm not siding with the police at all, I've only said that I'm neutral because frankly I don't know who's right and wrong

I've heard of the common problems about the police and those bills, they are quite bad, that doesn't mean I support those kinds of acts

slavery and police brutality, re: Sorta controversial opinion

@asahi95 Then please try to educate yourself before speaking out about police related topics!! It is an organization rooted in evil, created to uphold slavery and now used to uphold the interests of capitalism and governments, designed to kill and silence all forms of dissent. Trying to say you're neutral on that is hard to interpret as anything other than siding with their values
