Same reason Tinder ( Match Group who owns all the apps) sent user location data all over the place.
Normal people will never learn about this , and doing it right would take too much effort. While I would love new better social media to take over, I don't think social media which serves it's users is possible.
Hell, I self sensor more here than I do in real life. In real life if I say something odd it's forgotten within minutes.
- jdxcode 6y agoToo much effort to use TLS? EDIT: I didn’t realize initially this is UDP, but I think there is a similar solution like TLS for TCP
- offtop5 6y agoAnd get the certs working ? Why bother , move fast and break things yo
- jdxcode 6y agoTechnically you don’t need verified certs to get the encryption
- jcrawfordor 6y agoDTLS is the general "drop-in" TLS for UDP. It does have limitations and compromises, esp. in regards to real-time media, but this does seem like a situation where it would not be especially difficult to send this data over a DTLS-secured channel which is logically separate from the media.
- dathinab 6y agoEven with UDP it's still not hard. Sure getting it right might be hard, but getting it somehow good enough to not be obviously bad is much less so. Not only are there thinks like DTLS, in the worst case you could just "ship" a AES key when you login over TCP/TLS and then you encrypt any udp message with that key or something like that. Sure there are many ways you can get it wrong but it's easy to setup and better then plaintext.
