> back-end interoperability needs to be mandatory for Internet of Things stuff More than that, IoT network communications need to be snoopable by the end user if desired. There's a real threat of devices sending back data you don't want them to and even working together to exfiltrate data from a device that's otherwise blocked from the internet. (There was a startup in the greater Seattle area working on such exfiltration capabilities at one point, euphemistically referred to as "routing at the edge". Frustratingly I can't seem to track them down right now.)
