Can the chosen relay link IP-emphemeral identities and start putting a sequence of messages together? Can't they just see when the group id has changed and link the two?
I am not doubting MLS, but I have seen too many people claim privacy until I run their server and start logging down everything every connection does to locate, track and identify each participant.
If the relay can do it. They can either sell that info for profit OR be required by court order to track and identify users. If they can do it, they will do it.
That's why I am using Tor when connecting to DM relays. Every app session is a new Tor exit node. Relays can't know where each message is coming from. It's the only way I found to keep things private.
