If you call me on a consumer service which explicitly delineates that behavior, why would it be unreasonable for me to see your video before I accept? Presumab

Presumably you would know who you're video calling anyhow prior to calling them, so there's not really a meaningful privacy violation...
The only case I can think of is you calling me to expose yourself or something - to that, I'd say that a privacy option where you can make it so you have to add someone before they can video call you would suffice.
- pryce 6y agoIf our threat model in 2020 treats "unsolicited dick pics" as rare, and concludes that an "opt-out" setting is acceptable, we clearly haven't listened to what women have been saying for over a decade. One of the problems with an opt-out setting is that it can become a viable attack vector whenever the application settings reset: "OMG New phone for my 14th birthday" will look like an invitation to some segment of the population.

- rurp 6y agoI don't see anything in that link that addresses dick pics. Is it just the fact that this "feature" only works with contacts?
- 55555 6y agoYes, which is sufficient. You can call your contacts on skype and then just show them your dick after they pick up... This is neither a Duo problem nor a common complaint (except for in regards to ChatRoulette, where it's also the USP).
