User consent #42

Is Chrome planning on implementing https://wicg.github.io/private-network-access/#user-mediation? How would the user make an informed decision here?

I had somehow missed this was in there until @martinthomson pointed it out in https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/572#issuecomment-810782778.

With the caveat that I'll defer to @letitz here, both on sanity and priority, I don't think it's crazy to create a user-facing permission (whether or not we expose it through a dialog). I'm hopeful that we can learn from other platforms' experience here. I'm not a huge fan of iOS' "find and connect to local devices" dialog, but I don't think that means it's an impossible (or even bad) kind of question to ask.

(It occurs to me that @tfpauly might have some insight here, given https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10110/).

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't want to discourage experimentation, but I don't think it's at all something that warrants a SHOULD at this point.

letitz commented 3 years ago

Good point. We have no plans to do so yet. My main concern with user mediation is that explaining the situation and the risks sounds hard. That being said, I am interested in exploring this with folks who know UX design better.

In RFC 2119 terms I guess this would fit best as MAY rather than SHOULD. WDYT?

annevk commented 3 years ago

Yeah, that works.

How about MAY WISH TO? :)
