Element apps for Android and iOS have some suspicious mechanism to hide device verification dialogs from users on some homeservers (at moment of writing this, dialogs are hidden only for one homeserver though) ([Android client commit](https://github.com/element-hq/element-android/commit/049f10ffa027e914a1e3ff99aa2a61f85a442c54), [iOS client commit](https://github.com/element-hq/element-ios/commit/e977a9a0def8ee1f62a366335fe8c75f1d4d3f5c)), that thing was added ~2 months ago.. this looks like backdoor-like stuff to me, especially because homeserver domains are hashed

What the heck, ? :neofox_what:
