"people being forced to stop using torment nexus" is an interesting stance

Well, naturally. Thereโ€™s all kinds of issues with casual messaging apps in regulated environments.

They should never have been on it in the first place.

Politico is openly Zionist. Declared so by the CEO that any of their journalists that arenโ€™t Zionist should leave. FYI, now ya know

In 2021, Politico was reportedly acquired for over $1 billion by Axel Springer SE, a German news publisher and media company.[6] Axel Springer's CEO Mathias Dรถpfner said that Politico employees would be required to adhere to the company's principles of support for Israel, support for a united Europe, and a free-market economy.[7]

Iโ€™d love to move to Element but nobodyโ€™s there. Itโ€™s already been a struggle to get people over to Signal and that oneโ€™s got more momentum. Maybe the EU taking a louder stance could create some? Idk
