Many of them are also remotely managable. This could potentially mean
that an ISP could decide to block their customers' access to arbitrary
sites or services (some countries are trying to pass laws which would
require this). Also, some of these remotely managed consumer routers
have vulnerabilities in them which are being actively exploited right
now. The Bugtraq mailing list has had a few such vulnerabilities
reported this year. The possibility exists that future vulnerabilities
in remotely managed consumer networking equipment may make traffic
surveillance possible.
