-> Something we're excited to see is several servers have already enacted their media freeze for unauthenticated media! Matrix.org is doing so on **Wednesday, September 4th, 2024** (just a few days away) during UK business hours. Other Synapse admins can enable this freeze on their servers by setting `enable_authenticated_media: True` in their `homeserver.yaml`. Admins using other server projects should consult their documentation, though please note that some projects are actively working on adding relevant support.
