it has nothing to with paranoia, it's about a flat rate of perverts in masses which you can easily lower by adding some simple control structures.if you don't like this expressed swearword, would you like someone
saying nasty things to your kids - all without a log file on the server
or in the client?
I guess I missed the last thread where we drew a connection between P2P telephony users and perverts. I suspect it's best not to ask, but I can't see why you wouldn't be able log the IP addresses of incoming P2P calls at the client end, or perhaps ban the kids from using the computer without supervision if you are worried about who they might be talking to.
Even if the data is going P2P, the connection/control information is likely to be going though a server that you can "big brother" if you have access and are sufficiently paranoid.
maybe i am just so aware of it because the dutroux trial in belgium just started once more.
and we should keep in mind microsoft's action when they closed chatrooms due to porn.
i don't want to be a law enforcer, but i want to give administrators a chance to keep their server clean - in case of relaying - internet service providers, which owners of jabber servers are, are (at least in germany and propably in other 1st world countries) responsible for the content (ISP regulations) flowing through or from their server.
i know from many of the public flirt servers that logging of all conversations is very usual. Not only to protect kids, but to stay secure against political radical communication as well. of course secure, ciphered communications do out-leverage logging, but at least in one case i know of IRC administrators forbidding crypted communication on their (very big) server. you know, if a party secures their communication then it's ment to stay private, which is ok, since securing a communication is going along with less handsome tools, at least in most cases.
