> these privacy leaks need to be addressed _in the functionality of the standard_ We should first check whether, in our current model, these are leaks. For audio/video/data, WebRTC assumes pages have access to the content so I do not consider them as leaks. Isolated streams is a proposal that tries to change this model. With that proposal, we should indeed consider whether stats are leaking and I believe audioLevel does indeed leak information. In general, stats do not seem absolutely necessary for what the user intends to do. As such, I would like them to be privacy neutral and we should probably require that. With regards to decoderImplementation, I think it can be implemented in such a way that it will not provide any more fingerprinting information than say the user agent string, but might still provide a more easy way to get that information. Should we add a requirement along those lines? I am not a big fan of gating stats on getUserMedia. Some websites provide a button to report a problem. In that workflow, I could see how a prompt to gather more information might be feasible. It doesn't seem to meet the bar so far though. -- GitHub Notification of comment by youennf Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-stats/issues/550#issuecomment-588320098 using your GitHub account
