daniel, i respect and admire you for your considerate and respectful behavior, but would it be appropriate to point out the potential of unintended #mitm interception more clearly in this case?
i mean, the title could also have been "apple does not want you to notice when you are being wiretapped", or do i miss any other precaution they took for this not to happen?
also, i find it shocking that i don't find this shocking any more… 🤯

Detailed and credible looking report of #LawfulInterception #MitM on an #xmpp server hosted at #Hetzner in Germany: notes.valdikss.org.ru/jabber.r…
Looks like a transparent bridge was deployed in front of the actual server, obtained dedicated certificates from #LetsEncrypt and MitMed all incoming client connections since July. It was discovered because the LE certificate expired 🤦
