I really want a paid relay that accepts everything but authenticates users to download events and you can only download if it has a p-Tag to the authenticated user.

In that way, when people send GiftWrap messages to that relay, my user is the only one that can download those messages from the relay. No one else can "watch" and count how many private likes, private zaps or messages I have.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the ability to rebroadcast a note to any relay from any client break the privacy offered by a relay?

Like if I share private information on a private relay to my family but one of the tech illiterate ones tap the broadcast button on #Amethyst, then the private data leaks to other relays right?

Yes, that is very likely to happen.

However, privacy is not a binary thing. There are benefits to hiding most of your stuff while accepting that leaks will happen here and there.

That's why we designed the new DM protocol in such a way that even if the user re-broadcasts the outer or the inner event, it would still not leak any message or metadata information.

Because rebroadcasts will happen.
