NEW: WhatsApp will soon make it possible to chat with people who use other messaging apps. It's revealed some more details on how that will work.

— Apps will need to sign an agreement with Meta, then connect to its servers.
— Meta wants people to use the Signal Protocol, but also says other encryption protocols can be used if they can meet WhatsApp's standards
— WhatsApp has been testing with Matrix in recent months, although nothing is agreed yet. Swiss app Threema says it won't become interoperable

Join us in calling for EU member states to ensure that the CSA regulation does not introduce mandatory scanning and backdoors.

A safer internet is a safe space for all, with respect for fundamental rights such as the right to privacy. Introducing scanning and backdoors is essentially mandating the introduction of vulnerabilities that would make all forms of communication less safe.

We stand united against attempts to introduce mass scanning and surveillance.

I am seriously begging @element to implement proper "mark as read" functionality in matrix. Seriously, I should not have to go thread by thread every single day for threads I don't care about and mark them each as individually read by opening and scrolling and closing each thread.

The right-click channel -> “mark as read" does not work.
