> 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.
No but Matrix.org will likely be considered one. I mean the Twitter app isn’t a publisher but Twitter sure it.
If Matrix only facilitated private communications then they could probably tell Google to piss off but they became a social network when they included public chatrooms.
I think it’s funny that they think Google cares at all about the implementation details of your service. The only thing that matters to app reviewers is what the user sees when they use it. If you make your app technically unmoderatable, impossible to remove illegal content, or impossible to
respond to DMCA requests you don’t get to just throw your hands up.
Element is a Matrix.org client that lets users choose another server if they want. And Matrix.org hosts public chatrooms. So the fate of Element is tied to content hosted by Matrix.org.
