    Well done Matrix.

    In short, we need to keep E2EE [(end-to-end encryption)] as it is so that it benefits the 99.9% of people who are good actors. If we enforce backdoors and undermine it, then the bad 0.1% percent simply will switch to non-backdoored systems while the 99.9% are left vulnerable.

    Well done Matrix.

    I have yet to see any "backdoor" defense that even acknowledges the problem, let alone tries to address it. They just keep on eternally saying "must stop terrorism (or whatever) at any cost".

    Pardon my ignorance, but this looks just like a longer version of ban list?

    Trolls would just create more accounts and use them as throwaways.

    Or what if a user is wrongly banned? Is there any appeal process?
