They spun it off into a non-profit, which somehow removes any connection between those two things now

Yes, by definition, but we can keep going.

[BIG PICTURE TO PROVE NOTHING]

You can't reject the Matrix Foundation because it's a non-profit. There is no credible evidence that Israel (government or intelligence agencies) funds or controls Matrix as a protocol.

If you like Matrix and find absolutely nothing concerning about the connections of the two most influential entities in that space, than by all means, carry on.

If you write a client that uses a protocol to communicate over the internet, you better stick to that protocol, no? I mean, think about it for a second? What's wrong with youuuu? lol
