US officials urge citizens to use encrypted messaging and calls wherever they can—here’s what you need to know.

Matrix is Israeli so it is likely Mossad.

Per their website

The Matrix.org Foundation C.I.C is registered in the UK as Company #11648710

Afaik UK != Israel. Like sure they may work together, but I’m pretty sure they’re different countries, meaning Matrix is British, so it would be MI6. Of course, being that they’re

an open protocol for decentralised, secure communications,

I doubt it’s MI6 as well, and if it is find the back door in it for us all by having the open source code audited, please and thank you.

Btw this applies to “The Matrix Foundation,” they’re just the devs and run the largest instance, other instances (especially if you self host) are run by “not them” anyway.

No Matrix was invented by an Israeli company.

Matrixis an open-sourced protocol developed in 2014 by a team then working for Amdocs — an Israeli communication company. The standard is based on HTTP (to facilitate messages) and WebRTC (to facilitate voice calls). It works on a decentralized model with any compatible client.
