Except now we also have to be much more vigilant about open source standards, too.
For example, now I worry the security model of WebRTC has been compromised by NSA, because it has the potential to offer very secure P2P conversations to the masses (at least 1 billion users - and that's before IE even adopts it in IE12, hopefully).
- frank_boyd 13y agoIf your goal is to communicate securely, it's preferable to encrypt using a native (and obviously open-source) application (and OS) and to avoid the browser, for the time being.

- Gravityloss 13y agoIf you have an Android phone, Google tracks your location (GPS, cell towers and maps-wardriving-provided Wifi hotspots at least), so it's probably easy to see who met who. Maybe they also save seen bluetooth devices. Phones don't record conversations in the pocket by default yet, but it's not inconceivable when computing efficiency improves that recording is always on, and keyword data is saved by default. Handy if it can creates calendar markings from verbal agreements... And with Glass, video too. So meeting in person is getting less secure as well.

- infocollector 13y agoDoes anyone know how to disable WebRTC in the browser ? (Apart from downgrading of course)
