    No, because the MITM attack is the relevant government walking up to discord with a paper saying “I do what I want”

    Man in the Middle = Government subpoena

      they are not even “in the middle” but rather “at the very end”, since they’re just getting the data directly from the service provider instead

        No, they are very much in the middle. The attack occurs in the middle between sender and receiver. It doesn’t matter when the attack occurs, that is the position in the message chain that the government targets.
