He did not go to the police and tried to sell them a product like Matrix did. Matrix can't even build their product on existing standards so no reason to use them anyways.

I personally do not blame anyone for working with the police on the level, we have seen, neither Matrix nor Daniel.
However, there is a difference:
Daniel is only one "random" (sorry, Daniel!) person in the #Jabber #XMPP community. It's not the XSF nostr:npub15a43zxh6pmdl6k0f8lsxt5p9rx8d5pawhee6untdy7t8kw386vps7uqzna, that works with whoever.
In the case of Matrix, it is the company itself, which hold control of protocol and reference implementation. Again: I don't blame them.

Yes, this seems like a different situation entirely, Matrix devs were actively seeking patronage from the police ( all while making weird rants against their own userbase) whereas in this case it appears the Duetzch Pigs selected #Conversations_im / XMPP based on their own assessment that it's a secure app/protocol to use.

So it's better if the cops use Free Code software and *don't* help fund its development? Why?
> Matrix can't even build their product on existing standards
Matrix is a protocol, not an entity that builds products. So I'm not sure what you mean here.
