Is it just me, or the government of India is cracking down of all end to end encryption apps like signal and element.

    I wonder how they’d detect their usage. Signal is understandable, it has central servers (although I thought they were blocked and thus their usage wouldn’t be detectable under a good VPN anyway). But Matrix? Are they looking for connections to known public servers? Or the usage of the protocol itself stands out so that even selfhosted servers would stand out?

    If I were in such a situation, I’d start to hide traffic to anything they might dislike anyway.
