Specific to vector.im identity server

https://vector.im/_matrix/identity/v2/terms returns:

{
  "policies": {
    "privacy_notice": {
      "version": "1",
      "en": {
        "name": "Privacy Notice",
        "url": "https://vector.im/identity-server-privacy-notice-1"
      }
    }
  }
}

This is not correct, the URL should be https://element.io/is-privacy-notice instead of https://vector.im/identity-server-privacy-notice-1, but a redirection exists though

• Update the response from this URL on this server

Note: if we update the URL, the users will have to accept again the T&C because the agreement is stored in the account data, per URL. This is maybe why this URL has not been updated.

For every identity servers

Element Android already displays the policies when the user choose an identity server, but after that those policies are not displayed anymore. Even if the user disconnects and connects again to the same Identity Server, policies are not displayed anymore since the agreement is stored in the account data per URL.

• Element Android should display the list of URLs in the discovery screen, In a new expandable section "Identity server policy", below the Identity server URL

• A link "Policy" is added to the user consent dialog below as a neutral action (on the left). The link open the Discovery screen, with the policy section expanded.

I couldn't find any expandable setting examples within the app but the room topic does use an expandable text view, is this what you meant?

ONCLICK	VIA DIALOG

I was thinking on doing something similar to https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/blob/develop/vector/src/main/java/im/vector/app/features/roomprofile/permissions/RoomPermissionsController.kt#L155

Also the dialog is also displayed at a second location (room member invite screen IIRC), it should also be able to open the Discovery screen

Also the T&C screen look like this:

Maybe we can get inspiration from the items in this list, reusing "Privacy Notice" wording from the identity sever response and put the url below.

something like this~

COLLAPSED	EXPANDED	DIALOG	GIF

to confirm, when tapping the item, what should happen?

• nothing~
• open a WebViewActivity
• open a WebView dialog Context.displayInWebView
• open the browser

Same as https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/blob/develop/vector/src/main/java/im/vector/app/features/terms/ReviewTermsFragment.kt#L114
