  Hmm. Not only do they make unnecessary, irrelevant, and generally overreaching demands on your privacy, but you get modded down for objecting to it. Sounds like a great product. Where do I sign up? Absolutely nothing makes me reach for the back button faster than a "X requests access to Y" notification that doesn't explain exactly why X needs access to Y, and what X will do with its newly-granted access.

    For ephemeral collaboration, just use an semi-anonymous EtherPad fork like PiratePad. http://piratepad.net/ http://piratepad.net/

      Or if you want an anonymous pad with video chat, http://snapmeet.io http://snapmeet.io

        That's not anonymous. It talks to cloudflare.com, bootstrapcdn.com, fonts.googleapis.com, mxpnl.com and cloudfront.net in addition to snapmeet.io. None of the connections are over https and there's probably quite some cookie sending and fingerprinting involved.
