Im pretty sure matrix.org data has been and will be sharing data with law enforcement. Even if you use encryption, they collect loads of metadata. With smaller servers it depends on local jurisdiction i guess.

Of course they will. They only company that has actually ever refused, to my knowledge, is lavabit, and that's because they shut down their operations entirely when the gov demanded encryption keys due to Snowden.

The fact that such an enormous portion of users and groups are on the matrix.org server is a huge problem.
