Colleagues: RE Media Queries 5 and Privacy ... Perhaps we need to spend a little time laying out the concerns we have before trying to articulate solutions? Perhaps we might take this up specifically when we look at MQ5 and a11y? Please note that Gottfried Zimmerman has the horizontal review action from APA for MQ5. I can ask him to consider privacy as he looks at the specification. PS: The current deliverables of our Personalization Task Force are orthagonal to the features of MQ5. Somehow, over the years the work of this TF has become quite narrowly scoped (mainly to COGA concerns), even though it bears such a broadly applicable name. FYI: The Personalization Explainer is here: https://www.w3.org/TR/personalization-semantics-1.0/ PPS: APA intends to create a short video demonstration for TPAC. Perhaps one illustrating MQ5 might be useful as well? Do we have any implementations yet that could showcase MQ5?

As you said, media features that can be useful to everybody have been specified, while we've been more reluctant to add those that relate exclusively to disabilities. > > Even for those we have, the privacy aspect is still somewhat concerning. > > Personally, I would welcome doing something to minimize the privacy impact, and if that could be used to open the path to even more sensitive queries, that would be great, but I must admit I don't quite know what the solution would be. But if the Working Group did have an idea on how to make progress, I'd be very supportive. Maybe the notion of privacy budget is applicable here? I must admit I don't fully understand how that works and what the status of this approach is though. > > —Florian -- Janina Sajka https://linkedin.com/in/jsajka Linux Foundation Fellow Executive Chair, Accessibility Workgroup: http://a11y.org The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Co-Chair, Accessible Platform Architectures http://www.w3.org/wai/apa
