Unfortunately, there kinda is.

This is what Tim Cook said about govt agencies wanting a backdoor - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZmeZyDGkQ0 - right around 4:25.

When I buy an Apple product, this is part of what I think Apple does to protect their customers' privacy - No matter what, not even if the govt says so.

Now suddenly, we're back to talking about whether we can trust Apple after they expressly told us not to trust ANYONE including Apple and why that was such a good thing.

Don't forget that Apple is a multinational megacorp, and is user centric only when it suits them. Consider Tim Cook speaking at the conference used by the Chinese government to promote internet regulation, saying that the vision of the conference is one that Apple shares, and also the handing over of user data and encryption keys to Chinese servers (encrypted, but still out of their control).
What has this got to do with a certificate revocation server performing poorly?
Well, nothing other than certificate revocation server performing poorly has got to do anything with certificate revocation server performing poorly per se. None of your comments or mine for that matter. What is your point?

We're discussing the implications of it. You're welcome to not if you think it's irrelevant.

I’m asking you how it is relevant. You seem to be avoiding giving an explanation. Is that because there isn’t a real connection?
