Hi, Could default home folder permissions lean towards greater privacy, while administrators can adjust permissions to be less strict if necessary? In my mind, this is a more practical approach to both security and privacy. Several distributions, including Ubuntu, Fedora [1], Arch [2] and openSUSE [3], have already implemented more privacy-oriented permissions. What I would like is to have 'HOME_MODE' [4] uncommented. Would it be possible to implement this, or a similar change in Debian?
