> I think there is as of yet insuficient data to support that claim. I don't disagree per se but: 1. I don't give corporations the positive benefit of the doubt. They have done way too many attacks on privacy and I think it'd be naive to think they won't get tempted to have a below-the-kernel backdoor access to everyone's systems. They absolutely would, given the chance. Let's not give them the chance is what I am advocating for. 2. It's not about the advertised good use of the tech. We should first and foremost look for the abuse potential. If it's there then the tech should be dropped. Failing that (because it's too idealistic, I realize that) then we should make double and triple sure our routers and switches are secure and will stop suspicious traffic (if that's even possible for a home user...). Or have systems in place that don't let in every single firmware update.
