I think the big question is, what are the event handlers doing exactly? I'm definitely not defending any of these companies but it just seems fundamentally unclear what gets done with the data. The presumption is that the event data is passed to some private storage against users' consent. But for all we know it's also possible there are automated filters in place to detect sensitive information and drop/obfuscate it. Still, I wouldn't count on that.

I will say that it doesn't look great to have a `keypress` listener on the window/document...certainly that's not used for anything good.
