Matrix Conference 2024

Regulatory compliance in decentralised environments
09-21, 16:45–17:15 (Europe/Berlin), LAB 3

A step-by-step look at how we approach new regulatory obligations for different types of Matrix use cases, with the Digital Services Act (EU) and Online Safety Act (UK) as a case study.


A talk aimed at server administrators and those responsible for regulatory compliance of their Matrix implementations, going through the process that we follow to approach new obligations - from proposal to implementation and enforcement stages, such as:

  • How we decide which proposals to engage with
  • Navigating an ever changing global legal landscape
  • Early thoughts on DSA and OSA and its implications on Matrix
