Weird. What information could they leak? I don't know this market in particular, but around a decade ago, in the times of Silk Road 2.0, all communication between vendor and customer was encrypted according to the OpenPGP standard.
Vendors shared their public key and customers where supposed to use this to encrypt their messages send via the market
- Cody-99 3y agoConsidering the usability of PGP it wouldn't surprise me if the most users didn't use it and just entered their address. Especially since there was an 'auto encrypt' button right there. Linking bitcoin transaction info + addresses of users could easily be used as probable cause by the government to justify searches and seizing of vendor/customer devices to find other evidence.
