Let’s say I want to bridge from WhatsApp or telegram to Matrix, have I gaibed something in terms of privacy? In which case would it make sense? Public group chats? Direct chats?

    Using a bridge can sidestep telemetry that comes with official apps/clients. The services will also see a ping from your bridge server rather than, say, a direct ping from your mobile device. Make sure to self-host if you want to avoid introducing new parties to your communication stack.
