The question of whom the various devices on the Internet serve, while an
interesting one, is not as far as I can tell either a technical question
nor a question on which the IETF is in a position to provide useful
influence. It also is not, again as far as I can tell, the subject of
either the draft in quesiton or the general topic the IAB seems to want
to discuss.
It seems to be a complex political and economic question. And likely a
space full of unintended consequences.
Yours,
Joel

So I think we need to be a bit careful to keep track of the difference
between "the Internet is for human beings" and "the Internet is only
for human beings". The later seems to be the thrust of the current
langauge in the document.
My view is that the "things" in the "Internet of things" must primarily
serve human beings, not the corporations that make/sell them, and
especially not the things.
