Yeah people will use any excuse and lose their minds and make assumptions. That's why we need to be able to point out that this wasn't even connected to the bridge, that "relay" was just used for obfuscation purposes (that may not have even been necessary tbh).
If you check you should see some federated posts of a guy called @devolve@poa.st who just lost his shit over the "bridge security" and how it shouldn't have been connected and deleted his account.
