but thats fine no? how far do you think the current approach is going to go?
* lets not allow them to run some program because it is dangerous
* maybe just remove all programs that are not signed
* actually, only programs that are signed by approved by us devs
* not even them, we decide which program should the user install
* maybe dont allow them to read email because its dangerous
* ... allow them to press only specific keys on the keyboard in case they start entering a credit card, we must read all keys they press
* listen to what they say in case they start talking with a dangerous person on the phone we must block the phone call
