maybe we should be thinking about posts as objects that exist independent of particular sites (i stole this idea from someone and i forgot who although it is sort of implicit in the mother of all demos) and sites as embodying choices for how to display and interact with posts

you are completely correct but it's kinda beautiful how we exapted the most low-tech feature there is into a flexible and essential piece of infrastructure at internet scale

Hmm no, it's actually really cool imo because will apps can prevent you from copying text and sharing stuff, nothing will ever prevent you from taking screenshots. I think what we need is better OCR. You can already search for text in e.g. google photos.

There are types of DRM that can prevent you from taking screenshots. Who will be the first absolute legend who DRMs a website "for privacy"
