Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] User gesture requirement for Clipboard API access (#52)

Hi folks! As discussed on [today's TAG call](https://github.com/w3ctag/meetings/blob/gh-pages/2021/telcons/07-05-agenda.md) - we think the user activation requirement needs to be very strong - e.g. ^v or selecting paste in a menu.  As I wrote in [this comment](https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/636#issuecomment-857829725) on our issue on the pickling review, we think there are some abuse scenarios that are not being given enough weight in the discussion here. It should **not** be possible for a web page to have access to the contents of a user's clipboard without a very high bar of informed consent.  This is pretty fundamental to what sets the web apart from other platforms in terms of user safety. Since this issue is still open, what can be done additionally to strengthen the spec (and implementations) in this area?
