There was a bunch of abuse that already happened with host candidates, was fixed recently though! [0] Tor also did a bunch of really great work figuring out all the ways you can be fingerprinted.[1]
When I shared [2] a lot of people gave me flack for enabling malware. I don't come from that background, so hard to think 'how can people abuse this technology'
It is too late now to roll back all the WebRTC stuff in the browser now though :) Definitely would be mind blowing how much data is flowing because of it (and how much money is being made because of it).
