    it will be funny when they will impose those backdoors to Matrix

    How do you even impose backdoors onto an open source service that can be hosted decentralized?

        Yes, but when I am running my own server, what can force me to build a binary that contains the backdoor?

            Yeah, I’mma have to see that before I believe that. Otherwise I’d drop anonymous hints left and right for every single bit of IoT that runs against an MQTT or XMPP server hosted and forgotten somewhere back in 2018. That backlash would shake them awake.
