@calcifer Comcast used to prohibit having multiple devices connected to a single IP address on a residential account, but this was unenforceable and widely bypassed, and they later permitted it. Later Comcast prohibited running Internet services on your residential account, but this was also unenforceable, and later permitted.
So I can imagine someone still believing old rules were in place.
Also with software bloat, many people don't realize how little it can take to run services.

@foolishowl I'm gonna guess that the person that @calcifer is talking about doesn't know enough about networking to actually have any kind of rational root for *why* they believe that hosting a voice chat is illegal, beyond a vague anxiety about it being a service that THEIR KIDS use.
I think that at the root of it, it's just the phrase "MY KIDS" circling in their heads over and over.

@silverwizard @calcifer @katanova I'm not sure I'm familiar with that one. Something about data protection laws?
