IMO, this is what I understood from what Suchmoon said. The fact is that the extension can read all the data on the page you are viewing, but it only collects other forms of data, such as User IDs. It's not designed/modified to collect data from PMs

The good thing is the code is open source. Anyone with some technical knowledge can help review it.
I am new here you guys are senior, i always afraid to talk in between such topics but i am seeing this topic for quite some times, like many topics and threads i have read in these 2 days. Point is, dear logfiles, the meaning of suchmoon post is, these extensions have the capability to read and provide all the PMs but they do not do so because the setting is not set to show that data to public which means they could see them also.

The thing i am unable to understand is, when we try to send PM to someone we see a note at the bottom left corner that " Note: PM privacy is not guaranteed. Encrypt sensitive messages." Which is also a open indicator for everyone to be prepared for all types of security.

Which also means, these extensions have access to our PMs which i think should not have because i am ok with Administrators to have such access but not other members who are not even a part of the team of Theymos. TBH, if one do want to share someone a secret message they should avoid to send that directly instead do encryption or use TG to make discussions.
