I'm all for Matrix, but the things is, Matrix is primarily developed by people in the UK. They will be easily forced to implement backdoors.

That’s good to know🙏

Hopefully some trustworthy third party can audit the code if this ever becomes a thing.

I'm not sure auditing would be enough. We would literally need a development team outside of dictatoric countries like the UK, where such things can be forced.
