Sorry to pop everyone's bubble but XMPP is also widely used in police and military applications. People need to be a bit more realistic about the dual-use nature of internet and computing tools.
It's a bad look to be advertising your cooperation with cops and fully mis-reading your audience here. Also, I do not condone it. However, to the audience: what did you expect? Secure communications is first and foremost a defense industry need.

@rra @liaizon @theruran @tigase I find it unfair to judge devs by who are using our software, we might need to accept uses we disagree with to do the most good. (I don't disagree with private software, as long as those who use your software gets the Four Freedoms).
I think it is totally fair to judge us by who we're engaging with!
Personally (privileged) I can't get all that worked up about 1312, but I see the counterarguments missing the mark.
