## Security considerations
> Running a node as a light node mode impacts privacy due to the fact that it becomes identifiable what nodes care about if they aren't relaying traffic.
Replace with:
> I think the main privacy concern with light nodes is that the directly connected peers will know that a message originates from them (as it are the only ones it sends). And yes, based on that they can make some assumptions on which messages (topics) they are interested in also.
