Description

### Description

This poses a risk of the homeserver/media repo being able to correlate how often a sticker is used, although it's not directly related to the room itself. Some concerns were raised in the #megolm test room about the image itself not being encrypted.

To be absolutely clear: the event is encrypted, and must be decrypted to discover the sticker image. The image URL is not an encrypted version of the sticker, however.
