        You’ve been asked elsewhere in the thread, but I’m gonna ask again here anyway.

          https://thecyberwire.com/newsletters/daily-briefing/13/228

          I think this is what they are referring to.

          I saw a Lemmy thread about it, but the main takeaway is that it was a completely different program than what we know and love. It just happened to be named the same IIRC.

            Criminal matrix needed you to buy access for thousands of dollars, cool matrix is free and open to anyone. Technology isn’t even the same.

        are you trying to say that matrix is run by the CIA?

          The federated, foss software stacked network matrix. Right.

            He’s either trolling or getting Matrix confused with MATRIX, a separate platform that got in trouble for supporting criminals.
