@yatil@yatil.social yes but it's much more obvious when a site is accessing your camera/microphone because you can see the camera light and OSs show an indication of when your microphone is being used. A site that has clipboard permission could be watching your clipboard at any time the document has focus. It should be noted that the spec includes normative privacy considerations https://www.w3.org/TR/clipboard-apis/#privacy-async. I think some of these MAY statements should be MUSUs. I would probably still turn this feature off.

@torgo@mastodon.social Fair. Maybe for stuff like this a time limit should be added, like “ask again after 1h, 2h, 4h, a day, never”.

@torgo@mastodon.social @yatil@yatil.social I don't quite get the problem here, so I must be missing something. If a site wants to access the clipboard, the browser will ask me, yes? Isn't that ok, since it is asking me? Or is the problem that a site can ask to begin with?
