<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> </head> <body> Dear Wayland protocol developers, please improve Wayland's privacy and security model against recent screenshot and similar attacks. Use a screenshot and recording security model where applications by default can only get pixels from themselves and some other common user interface elements that are anonymized by default. E.g. using the default desktop background wallpaper image without user generated or any desktop icons for screenshots and screen recordings. Maybe Wayland can specify or include a default (possibly vector-based .svg) image or color. (Avoid blue due to it's effect on the circadian rhythm. Green, yellow and red colors are fine.) Same for sound for both input and output including but not limited to operating system sounds/noises. Thus have a permission model where applications by default can only record their own input(s) and output(s) and some other operating system elements are included but anonymized by default. More generous application permissions must be explicitly and manually set by the user (after installation of the application?) in unambiguous and clear settings in security and privacy settings. Other permissions for an application might be: any other application can record this application's input(s) and output(s) and the dreaded this application can record any other application's input(s) and output(s). This last one must absolutely be explicitly and manually set by the user (after installation of the application) in unambiguous and clear settings in security and privacy settings. Where settings such as whether to show the actual desktop wallpaper, icons and other personal thus privacy-sensitive information to specific applications are also located. Security and privacy settings must also have a place that's a list of installed application where for each application a security and privacy oversight can be opened. One that's clear and unambiguous. Contains everything related to an application's security, privacy, data sharing, permissions, location sharing, antivirus settings for that application, firewall settings for that application, other network security settings, etc. Also no autorun of insertable media by default. Ask what to do (for audio or video media and maybe open the designated file explorer for data carrying media) for the default settings. Thanks for reading and have a nice day. </body> </html>
