    I get it, but I just don’t get why wouldn’t they just follow other govs’ steps and just set up a matrix server instead. It’s already available and proven.

            How is this a bad deal for the public? Tax dollars go directly to the local market and the only people who have to change their behavior are those voluntarily seeking employment in the government.

            It’s a complete win.

              Because sometimes that only results in worse features with more overhead. Not everything is interchangeable with the press of one button.

                  You have no idea how complex it is to develop E2EE software. At least they could go with self hosted Matrix (in fact they already do in some departments!). Matrix is even designed to be extensible!

              Because they could be paying more money for a worse product or service.

              It’s not beneficial to take a worse deal just because you’re making domestic people richer instead of foreign ones.

      That’s actually what they’re doing. They built their own messenger based on Matrix.
