Do browsers prompt like for mic and camera before opening p2p connections? Nobody wants a letter from the MPAA because a random website's javascript starts downloading/seeding stuff in the background without the user's knowledge.
- uptown 11y agoP2P isn't always mic and camera. Here's an example: (WARNING: Don't open this link if you're on mobile, or on a capped data connection) https://webtorrent.io/ https://webtorrent.io/
- cm3 11y agoThat's what I'm saying. It should also prompt for permission if there's no audio/video involved. Visiting a random site can make you upload and download illegally at the same time. Therefore there's no justification for it to be enabled by default if just JS is allowed.
