The editorialized title says DRM but I believe "protected content" in this context means restricting the sharing and screenshotting of content in the app via normal measures, not that they applied tons of cryptography like more a mainstream meaning of DRM would.
- fsflover 5y agoDRM does not mean "tons of cryptography" and never did. It means anything restricting users' freedom to do what they want with the data.
- yuuta 5y agoNo. DRM is meant to protect copyrights, but Telegram's intend was to protect private messages from being forwarded to the public, which has nothing to do with copyrights.
- fsflover 5y agoDRM is an instrument, which can protect anything. If you apply it elsewhere, it does not stop being DRM.
- Croftengea 5y agoI see, thanks. So the title is totally misleading then.
