I wonder if users are now liable for the CP or other illegal data being downloaded through the mesh?
I think I remember that Comcast, when they have enabled public network on private routers, have created a separate network with separate ID and that supposedly is enough to protect router owners from legal problems.
But here mesh is using the same (single) network all devices use in the household. So if someone will abuse their mesh connected device to download illegal data and traffic will pass through your main network, are you liable for it too?
- wildmanx 5y agoGenerally, it's uploading that tends to get you in legal trouble, not downloading. (Counter to quite some propaganda out there.)
- jaywalk 5y agoThat's not even possible. Sidewalk doesn't create an open Internet connection, it's basically a VPN back to Amazon.
- flavius29663 5y agoso when some CP gets on the Amazon servers, they must report that to the authorities, right? by law! Now, the upload came from your device....did you do it or did someone else?
- jaywalk 5y agoWhat are you even talking about? Do just a little research on how Sidewalk actually works, please.
- flavius29663 5y ago> how Sidewalk actually works It matters very little how it's designed to work. If it can be abused, it will. Encryption can be broken, protocols can be circumvented. It's why we have physical covers for webcams, because they can and are used by malicious parties, even though it should be possible.
