Right, the dust-up was "PM advertises their service as secure and end-to-end encrypted, but in practice that doesn't mean much because user access is non-anonymous and they're still a central metadata honeypot for any law enforcement agency to log accesses to" (compared to e.g. Signal which AIUI is designed as an anonymous dropbox so that Signal can't correlate between user access to their servers and individual senders)
