Hi, What do you see as the range of desired vs. possible things in the realm of digital self-destructing messages? * What do people want, ideally? E.g. I send a message to Fred and he can only see it once and then it is gone. * What must we accept / can we rule out? E.g. they can always take a picture of the screen, even if e.g. the display device disables screenshotting. * What would be technically useful and/or vs. what would be socially useful? People might know that the recipient can always just take a photo, but still be willing to send the message / use the service if e.g. nobody else can 'take the photo' such as the intermediate servers. * Under what contexts would the lock-down just push people to share in other insecure ways? Or are there contexts where the lock-down is more acceptable by all main parties involved? (And personally while I can guess that such contexts might be e.g. a lot of sexting or something worse, I believe there are still plenty of not-evil contexts.) thanks for your thoughts.
