spec: require user consent for apps to send data to the chat #33
Labels
api-change-move-to-forum
this issue proposes an api change which belong in the forum, so it should be summarised an put there
Something like "apps MUST NOT be allowed to send any data to the chat (
sendUpdate()
) unless the user has given explicit consent to that". The prompt should also state that the app may share ANYTHING they do inside the app to the chat, so if they don't trust the app, they better not allow it to send data, or not input anything sensitive there (that also makes me think if users should be warned about not putting sensitive stuff in the apps BEFORE they can launch it).It's because:
The more general idea behind all of this is to tell the users what they should expect from the apps. E.g. they would want to know that apps cannot communicate with the internet directly. Or that they already know it, and assume wrong things based on this (like that apps cannot communicate with the chat either).
