Presumably offering routing servers and transit. Plus Telefonica bought TokBox[1], whose tech powers the backend

Does this affect the end to end encryption mechanism of WebRTC (at least for Internet users)?

In other words, can Telefonica make it easy to spy on all Firefox Hello talks, or only on the browser-to-phone ones? (which is to be expected, I guess).

WebRTC by itsself is not MITM resistant
