It is not misleading, Wayland is better than Xorg in this particular respect.

But the other concern is part of the systemic problem. Consider that the data that was transmitted was sent in the clear!

> StarDict ... while running on X11, using Debian's default configuration, it will send a user's text selections over unencrypted HTTP to two remote servers.

> Any user who did read the description of the package, and who knew what the YouDao plugin would do, might nevertheless expect the resulting communication to at least be encrypted. But the plugin actually reaches out to its backend servers — dict.youdao.com and dict.cn — over unsecured HTTP. So, not only are these servers sent any text the user selects, but anyone who can view traffic anywhere along its path can see the same thing.
