Re: [PING] WebRTC privacy and consent

+1 and I think the broader issue here is the one of user control (including users’ ability to signal their preferences) across the range of ways we “go online”.
In general, we lose agency as we shift from a browser-based model - where supplementary controls are relatively accessible through things like plug-ins - to webRTC, and then on to things like apps and “connected helpers”, where the options to add user control/inspection are virtually zero.

How about an infographic that looks at the various ways “Primrose” goes online in the course of the average day, and indicates whether those ways offer her any options for control/inspection/signalling?
