Interesting talk today discussing the importance of having human rights activists embedded in protocol organisations. Basically having someone who pushes for the consideration of impact on human rights when technical standards are being defined.

The talk was specifically on the IETF. They gave the example of data leakage in WebRTC revealing IP addresses and said an activist had raised this and it had gotten fixed. Anyone know details of that?
