Apologies if this is explained in the article (sorry, as a Linux user I don't care enough about this story to actually read the article), but... how is a filter that avoid taking screenshots of sensitive info supposed to work? I mean, what kind of divination algorithm can detect something is sensitive without looking at it first?
It might take a screenshot and keep in memory, and only save to disk after some image processing that detects if there is sensitive data.
