The current proposal makes it possible for a website to create a "Copy" button it its UI, and it will just work when clicked, but to create an equivalent "Paste" button the site must be white-listed and allowed to read all clipboard content.

I'm not suggesting any whitelists.

I'm just suggesting that all websites can, without any user gestures,
read data from the clipboard if that data originated from the website
itself.
