Element is a versatile client for the Matrix protocol, providing a secure platform for managing chats, video calls, and file sharing. As an open-source client, Element offers transparency and security, making it an ideal choice for organizations prioritizing privacy. Hosting Element on a private server ensures encrypted interactions and secure storage within Australia, safeguarding ANCOP members’ communication needs.
Element Call
Element Call extends the functionality of the Element client, offering secure voice and video calling capabilities. This feature is crucial for organizations like ANCOP that require reliable and confidential communication channels for their operations. Utilizing Element Call on a private server ensures that conversations remain protected from external threats, providing peace of mind during meetings and discussions.

Where we are at?
See the progress bars below we started the new build last week, and are currently working to have it completed by end of next week.
Platform Accessibility and Future Plans
Funding for ANCOP Social and its associated tools is currently provided by two core members, both financially and through their time and effort. To ensure the sustainability and continued development of this platform, it will be made available to all freedom groups for a small fee that covers the running costs.
ANCOP has been working diligently behind the scenes, under the radar, and has a natural process to identify and select true core members. This selection process has been completed, and all future developments are approved and endorsed by these core members.
The platform is designed to support all freedom fighters, whether they are individuals or part of larger groups. Groups can have their own space on the platform, ensuring they have the necessary tools and resources to communicate effectively. At this stage, membership payments are only required from groups, not individuals.
