@element_hq
Element is a sovereign, secure and interoperable communications platform. Built by the creators of Matrix.
- Google have suspended Element in the Play Store without notifying us; we're reaching out to find out what's going on. Apologies for the inconvenience; in the interim there's f-droid.org/en/packages/im… but it's a few versions behind. We'll post updates here.
- Replying to @element_hqMorning all. We've had contact from Google confirming that the suspension is due to abusive content somewhere on Matrix; we're working with them to explain how Element works and get the situation resolved.
- Replying to @element_hq...and the app is back: play.google.com/store/apps/det…. Huge thanks to everyone for your patience and support on this, and apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks also to Google for being transparent and apologetic once we'd established contact. Now, back to preparing for @fosdem!
- Replying to @element_hqWe've sent a full explanation of Element and Matrix to the Google Play Store Policy team as of 11:44 UTC and we're waiting for a response. Meanwhile we've published a blog post on the situation which we'll keep updated as it evolves:
- 📷 The new Chat Control proposal puts the security of everyone in the EU at risk in search of an non-existent magic tool. It’s time to raise the alarm and make our voices heard...
- Replying to @element_hqWe're still awaiting feedback. Meanwhile, if it's urgent and you're comfortable installing unsigned APKs, you can grab the latest build from our CI at buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org… (click on the Artifacts tab to see the APKs).
- Replying to @element_hqHuge apologies to everyone who is impacted by this - we're working as hard as we can on getting the app reinstated asap.
- Spaces have blasted out of Beta, and landed in all the latest versions of Element! 🚀🌌 Navigate your rooms, people and conversations like never before! Huge thanks to everyone that contributed with feedback - please keep it coming!🙏
- Replying to @element_hqUpdate: we just got a call from a Google VP who explained the suspension was triggered by a report of extremely abusive content accessible on the matrix.org server. Our trust & safety team had already acted on it, and the app should be reinstated shortly.
- Replying to @element_hqUpdate: we’re still waiting for a response from Google to our explanatory mail sent ~8 hours ago. Thanks all for your patience while we get this sorted...
