If I understand this issue raised by @riju correctly on this: (suppose we give permission for "higher" level sensor, does that mean we give implicit permission to the "lower" level sensors), from a security point of view, I would say yes, giving permissions to motion and orientation does not differ that much from giving permission to acc/gyr. On the other hand consider the reverse case (suppose we give permission for "lower" level sensor, does that mean we give implicit permission to the "higher" level sensors), the user would be very confused and annoyed if he/she receives permission requests on low-level sensors and high-level ones (which are using those low-level sensors). Hence, my suggestion is to agree on a consistent permission request style (either low-level OR high-level) for usability reasons. -- GitHub Notification of comment by maryammjd Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/132#issuecomment-259168773 using your GitHub account
