Is this effectively true for media? Key concept is democratizing DRM. You as a digital person having digital rights and letting you manage them.

Consider Netflix on iOS devices. Now consider if OnlyFans creators could have the same effective guarantees. Might they not adopt Telegram in droves?

Media DRM is not infallible either. Sure, it's a lot more inconvenient than a feature that simply blocks screenshots, but even the most secure hardware DRM used on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video etc. is regularly cracked, the methods are just not public. (Though they usually attack Google's Widevine DRM rather than Apple's FairPlay.)
