    I wouldn’t expect anything like this proposal to be mandatory. I’d want it as something I could turn on if I felt I needed it.

      If you give people this ability, most of the ones who use it are going to put themselves at risk.

      Maybe you feel that’s their own problem. Sometimes you need to protect people from themselves. The phone vendors sure as hell don’t want to start seeing news stories of their devices getting hacked all the time.

      And how do you feel about your site visitors not being able to hit your page when your local network is overloaded?

        Having my phone not be able to do something I want it to do is my problem.

        Sometimes you need to protect people from themselves.

        That’s why you have it turned off by default.

        And how do you feel about your site visitors not being able to hit your page when your local network is overloaded?

        Compared to how it is right now, when I can’t run a site on my phone at all? It would be a significant improvement.

          I meant, it’s arguable that if people use this feature and expose themselves, that’s their own fault. I’m not sure what you thought I meant.

          That’s why you have it turned off by default

          It’s off by default, but still there for uneducated and unskilled people to turn on and leave themselves exposed.

          … significant improvement

          Vs just paying a few bucks for linode that’s got multiple 9s of uptime? It doesn’t seem worth it.
