This is far far worse of a potential risk than a tracking identifier. Bank passwords, balances, social media pages, full text chat Windows, everything you ever view all OCRed and put in a neat searchable database for a hacker.
My main point is that “observability” tools like Clarity are screen grabbing whole Web sessions and have been for some time.
But Clarity is an app a web developer adds to their own web site. So, yeah a website you visit sees everything you do on their website.
That's not new.
Screen capping everything on your PC at all times is new.
Yes the developer sees it, and also the data brokers they sell all their user data to see it, aggregate it, and corollate it. Not to mention whatever Microsoft does with it.
I would be interested in learning what people find objectionable about my comments, if anyone would care to share.
