I don’t see your point. If you archive all inbound text, this feature is clearly not for you. This is like saying a door lock isn’t useful for anyone because you keep your window open.
The people I chat with do not know that I archive (nor should the) and will have an inaccurate and misleading expectation of behavior.
To use your door analogy, it’s like telling someone that a door lock keeps people out when there’s an invisible teleported that also gets installed with the door lock.
It’s a hard analogy to follow because me retaining information you sent me is different than me breaking into your house. If you send me info, it’s mine. The weird mental model is that you still control what you give to me.
But making a big deal about “exploding” is dangerously incorrect that many users will make incorrect assumptions.
I’m not worried about screenshots, I’m worried about my plugin that archvives all text inbound to me that then requires me to respond to subpeona, etc.
From a security standpoint, this feature should not impact behavior since it is meaningless. If users don’t understand this, then it will cause heartache.
