[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#704234: sends call via Google

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: telepathy-gabble
Version: 0.16.5-1
Severity: important


Troubleshooting with this debug command:

G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all GABBLE_PERSIST=1 GABBLE_DEBUG=all
/usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-gabble -f

I noticed the following line:

(telepathy-gabble:9974): gabble-DEBUG: gabble_call_stream_constructed
(call-stream.c:353): Attempting to create Google relay session


it appears to suggest that calls are relayed through Google's server
(using TURN?), even though no Google accounts are defined in empathy.


This may be against the privacy expectations of many users.
