This reminds me of Scientology and their secret OT scriptures. They
claimed these documents were secret and not published, but of course
also claimed tens of thousands of members had taken these courses.

The judge in this case said if you distribute something to tens of
thousands of people privately, he considered it publicly published.

In other words, I am not too concerned about the privacy properties
of a group of tens of thousands members. For my safety I can only
assume everything this group does is completely public regardless
of the quality of the privacy preserving technologies used.
