>> @amelius: Can't the EU make their own messaging app?
> @tptackek: Wasn't Matrix in the running for this?
Three points:
1) From https://matrix.org/foundation/about/: The evolution of Matrix is managed through an open governance process, looked after by The Matrix.org Foundation - a non-profit UK Community Interest Company, incorporated to act as the neutral guardian of the standard on behalf of the whole Matrix community.
2) Matrix is a protocol, not a messaging app.
3) UK is no longer EU.
Read it however you like, I'm simply pointing out that private efforts in non-EU member states are difficult to roll under "EU effort to create their own messaging app".
