    I really hope I’m wrong and you’re right here! I agree with you entirely in terms of what should be allowed, if it isn’t already allowed. And I definitely hope you’re correct. I haven’t recently requested a data export from my languishing Matrix account, but I might give it another go to see what kind of data is stored on my home server.

      I’ve had to deal with this on the data collection end, and it’s a PITA to build in the mechanisms to fully follow the law. If you’re an EU resident, and especially if the server is in the EU or has to follow EU agreements, then they’d risk some quite high penalties if they didn’t follow it.
