instant-messengers: delist Riot (#1047)
We previously added a warning on privacy concerns in #1024 after Prism-break had delisted Riot and *Notes on privacy and data collection of Matrix.org* was released revealing concerns even with self-hosted homeservers. Today Libre Monde has released another part on privacy investigation on Matrix.org [1] revealing that they aren't GDPR compliant nor privacy friendly and behave shadily such as by announcing removal of data as a result of GDPR request. [2] [1]:https://github.com/libremonde-org/paper-research-privacy-matrix.org/blob/master/part2/README.md [2]:https://github.com/libremonde-org/paper-research-privacy-matrix.org/blob/master/part2/README.md#the-request Closes #1048, closes #1050.
