WebRTC has been having these problems for at least 6 years straight. At what point can we call this a deliberate back door?

When there’s evidence that it’s either deliberate or a back door? Those words have specific meanings and WebRTC doesn’t fit that description.

I agree it’s not a back door but if you’ve been put on notice of a serious security flaw then after a certain amount of time I do think your failure to take corrective action is “deliberate”.

[acdha]

How serious is it, really? The vast majority of users will connect to a web server with their IP anyway so I’d assume it’s more a question of weighting it behind other privacy improvements — for example, ad blocking and tracker protection are probably making more of a difference for most people.

Should at least warn you, "this site wants to use WebRTC, this will reveal your real IP address. OK?"
