There are a number of issues, e.g. SSL. Even if we require https, sites hosting images could have invalid certs.
Tried researching exploits/vulns based on imgs with external sources. Not really finding anything that serious or that hasn't been fixed. Will look into more.
You can't implement a system to block broken SSL requests from rendering images to display? Not to sound anti-privacy, but there are plenty of other ways to track Memo users already.
