A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

You've been asked elsewhere in the thread, but I'm gonna ask again here anyway.
Source?
https://www.securityweek.com/law-enforcement-read-criminals-messages-after-hacking-matrix-service/
https://thecyberwire.com/newsletters/daily-briefing/13/228
I think this is what they are referring to.
I saw a Lemmy thread about it, but the main takeaway is that it was a completely different program than what we know and love. It just happened to be named the same IIRC.
Edit: https://lemmy.world/post/22758570
That's not the same matrix
Hence why I said it
Criminal matrix needed you to buy access for thousands of dollars, cool matrix is free and open to anyone. Technology isn't even the same.
For posterity, I see that another place this person has been asked for a source is https://lemmy.world/comment/13801385
