The absolute worst part of "journalism" today, is how these organizations have a slush fund and insurance for cases where they're caught lying and destroying lives - never mind actually doing the job of verifying a story, the

Looking through the documentation, there is no mention of WebRtc data channel. 1. Does this SDK support WebRtc data channel. 2. Does the AWS Kinesis WebRTC provide a managed service for WebRTC data, without the need to use audio/video.
