@prologic @ionores Incredible. These algorithms are "shoot first" and there are no significant repercussions for Google, time after time. I finally installed F-Droid this week; surely that approach is the way forward.

From what I read it seemed to be a case of "guilty until proven innocent", but IHMO it's even more stupider than that, you're basically going after the wrong "things". Element is just a client to a protocol, just like Chrome is a client to a protocol. THe world has gone mad ๐Ÿคฃ

@prologic \n\n๐Ÿ‘‡\n"Morning all. We've had contact from Google confirming that the suspension is due to abusive content somewhere on Matrix; we're working with them to explain how Element works and get the situation resolved."

@prologic @ionores I guess society should take more responsibility for teaching their children what's right from wrong, instead of letting corporate terms of service and the bans that come with breaking them do it for them.\n\nThe collective result would be surprisingly effective, in my opinion!
