Re: [webrtc-pc] Obtain user consent for one-way media and data use cases (#2012)

> And while using mDNS to hide non-default route candidates would likely improve the situation, I'm convinced that we will see _consent_ vs. _no consent_ diverge further.

Chrome will apply mDNS only to host candidates of applications that have not requested a getUserMedia permission: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=930339

This is great for media based applications, but confirms your point. There is no equivalent permission request for data channel based applications. Enterprise users of DC-only applications now have the choice between accepting the privacy implications of explicitly giving microphone/camera permissions to an application that does not require microphone or camera, versus accepting the privacy implications of data traffic going through a third party TURN server even though both clients are in the same network.

I'm quite convinced that an "allow this application to establish a direct connection" permission request could resolve most of these problems.
