MODERATORS
Still very biased towards Matrix Vs XMPP when it comes to encryption. If it is "provider specific" for XMPP it should be also "provider specific" for Matrix... or rather in 99% of the cases it is not "provider specific" at all but available and enabled by default for both. That there are a few non-compliant server+client combinations is just a result of an open-source and decentralized network.
Edit: same for the "what apps can hand over to police section", which is also highly provider specific as it doesn't really concern the "app" but rather the server (which can be self-hosted).
