@julian @CerstinMahlow and if you set up bridges on your matrix server for signal and whatsapp and use them in the future, you have a data protection problem imho, because none of the signal and wa users know that you are transferring the data and communication to another system (and country), they have not consented to this either, they assume that the signal and wa data protection regulations are valid. i know, this is never discussed among the bridge fans.

@wuethrich I'm guessing you were typing this before you got my first reply. Again, I'm not going to be using bridges and I'm not going to have a Signal or WhatsApp account. I'm going to be using the native messenger interoperability mandated by the DMA, and Signal/WhatsApp are going to send their messages to my Matrix server knowing that it is a Matrix server. How they explain that to their users is up to them, maybe there'll be a popup warning.
