Please note that this is a different "Matrix," entirely unrelated to the the Matrix protocol.

Europol and the Dutch police have both issued statements clarifying. You can find more info in our own statement here: matrix.org/blog/2024/12/unrela…

Repeat offenders drive bulk of tech support scams via #Google #Ads

"Search engines, and Google’s in particular, are our gateway to the web. Yet, that door sometimes opens up to unsavory places thanks to sponsored search results, AKA ads."

This is part of the reason I recommend using an #adblocker (whether in browser, on device, or network-based.)

Europol was in touch with The Reg overnight to ensure no one imagined the "Matrix" app had any connection to the open protocol for secure decentralized comms of the same name, saying: "The Matrix protocol ( @matrix ) is by no means connected to the Matrix secured communication service that was targeted in OTF Continental."

plexmanager saw its last release 1.5 years ago, and its repo was archived in September. If it's still fine, we can keep it at #IzzyOnDroid a bit longer – but if not, it should be removed.
