      Please RT if you have enough expertise to understand why blocking screenshots is a pointless, silly feature for a secure messenger.

      What should we do if we have enough expertise to understand why it isn't a pointless, silly feature?

      seriously I'm just tweeting distracted and wording things clumsily. You LIKE those features?

      If I were a founder of @snap I would, considering how much money they made.

          that's not a secure messenger.

          Snapchat could become a secure messenger at any time. People like that feature, even understanding it isn't perfect.

          you're right. Poor wording. You understand what I was going for, right? How would you put it?

          pointless and silly SECURITY feature perhaps?

          The only way it can be presented as a security feature is if taking screenshots by accident is a common problem.

          right! And: it is not.

          They're basically security theater, and their absence doesn't make an app insecure.

          Whether or not a feature is profitable has very little to do with its security.

          That's not the question that was asked. Developers of secure messengers need money.

          Claiming "Signal is insecure because it doesn't block screenshots" like journos did is patently stupid.

          I'm not disagreeing with you. This thread isn't about Signal, AFAIK.
