It's more a bathroom door lock than DRM. It's not meant to be unbeatable - it's to prevent accidental embarrassment, and most likely to be used by small groups

It's more a bathroom door lock than DRM. It's not meant to be unbeatable - it's to prevent accidental embarrassment, and most likely to be used by small groups of willing participants (as in 'group chats' or the 'secret santa' example, perhaps)?
- bhelkey 5y ago>it's to prevent accidental embarrassment I am not sure I understand where you are coming from. Are you suggesting that people accidentally take screenshots and share them?
- petercooper 5y agoIt's not uncommon for unwritten, but implicitly accepted, social conventions to be broken in the moment. You might take a screenshot of a private group chat "just to show my wife and I'll definitely delete it later" but then forget and it leaks.. etc. etc. Having some guard rails on that sort of situation might help/remind some people.
