I wonder how this affects nonprofits like Matrix/Element and Signal. What can they do with them? Gangstalk their developers? Coerce big tech to ban them from their appstores?
The design of these decentralized/federated platforms is specifically so they can't easily coerce their owners into disclosing incriminating information. In some sense, it's similar to how Bittorrent implicates it's users.
The issue is a bit more complex. I was thinking more on the lines of "will I get bothered for making crypto available for the masses that nobody can crack?"
Well signal does not have the data, they comply with such orders with the tiny amount of metadata they have (like a timestamp of when your account was created and that’s about it)
