There is a difference between willing information that you put out there and data gathering that goes on without your consent.

Location data is something I don’t want anyone collecting without my consent.

Why does Element need to know where I’m located? Why is that being gathered with my identifiers?

Why use Element for matrix?

From what I can tell it collets and links data to you: Location, identifiers and contact information.

How is that private or better than Signal?

These are not real people, it’s just a machine telling you what you want to hear. That’s all.

It’s not real, it’s not human.

Go outside and touch some grass and make a real human connection.
