    It’s true Indian government has banned Element and other Apps and forced Signal, WhatsApp and other such apps to have a local representative so that they can arrest someone and force their will.

    Wait what! When did this happen. I live in India and just saw the element app on the play store.

    They started going through chats on traffic stops, but there are ways to avoid that also

    I have also yet to see this but then again this seems like something the conservative (read authoritarian) government could do
