True - but you can make accessibility access an opt-in feature. I hate phrasing it like that. But a piece of security software should allow people to disable accessibility features when they aren't needed.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y ago> you can make accessibility access an opt-in feature It already is. You have to explicitly go and enable it per requesting program in the system settings.
- izacus 7y agoAccessibility services are disabled by default and need to be explicitly enabled by the user. At that time the user is clearly warned that the enabled service (by name) will be able to read the screen.
- IAmEveryone 7y agoShould opting in not be accessible by assistive tech as well, then? People requiring this technology obviously need a way to turn it on. Requiring them to have assistance to initially set it up would seem terribly insulting, regardless of how little trouble it might practically be for most people.
