And what’s the context for using the internet traffic of your unsuspecting users to accomplish this?
- choo-t 7mo agoUsing the internet trafic of the persons using your service to protect your anonymity and thus, protecting the service itself.
- ajam1507 7mo agoSo you shouldn’t have to inform your users that their traffic will be used in a cyberattack?
- RobotToaster 7mo agoIn most jurisdictions informing them would potentially make them legally liable. The fact they had no knowledge shields them from liability.
- ajam1507 7mo agoSo their desire to not be used to commit a cyberattack doesn’t factor in? As long as they aren’t legally liable, it doesn’t matter? Also a checkbox that says something like “I would like to help commit a crime using my internet traffic” would keep people from having their traffic used without consent.
- ryandrake 7mo agoUnfortunately “consent” is a difficult to understand concept for a lot of the web and Silicon Valley.
- staticassertion 7mo agoI don't have strong feelings about that one way or the other, honestly.
