    If you already know the person, why not just email them?

      Why even bother communicating with them? You already know them.

            Lots of things aren’t even possible to be encrypted on matrix, such as emoji reactions. Those are always sent in clear text.

            …just wait till someone is convicted for arson because the police AI dragnet bots flagged you as guilty because you left a “fire” emoji at the wrong time
