Inconvenience is often good enough. This isn't intended for state secrets, based on the language it's intended for "creators" to "protect the content they publish on Telegram". Obviously any platform can't completely prevent copying works, that's how piracy exists, and always will. If I were an artist I would prefer a platform that at least made it slightly more onerous to copy my things with high quality. A photo of a phone is worth effectively nothing in this context.

This seems like a fine change, people on HN just like to be angry.
