I have sent my suggestion, mainly about reforming the current HTML standard so as, if the web browsers support a client-side scripting language, they display a message with license information, source files location, a noticeable message about the dangers of non-free software, a buttom to inspect the script source, and a question asking if the script should be "denied for now", "accepted for now", "black listed" or "white listed" --- this dialog should of course repeat for every script except for the black listed and white listed ones.
As basis for my argumentation I cited: - <https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/REC-html51-20161101/>. - <https://media.libreplanet.org/u/zakkai/m/javascript-if-you-love-it-set-it-free-54ab/>. - <https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/the-surreptitious-assault-on-privacy-security-and-freedom/>.
