B is an illusion, and it seems like about 90% of the time it's used for dumb or bad purposes even if it did work.

Locks can be picked. We still make and use locks.

  • If a type of lock was overwhelmingly used for bad reasons, and only worked when someone didn't cover their hands (analog pictures), I'd be arguing against that type of lock too.

    • Is it a “bad reason”? Millions of people chose to use Snapchat specifically because of how it handles screenshots. It is a feature even if you don’t like it.

      Many people would find it inconvenient to find another device to take a picture with. And that manual picture would then have baked-in evidence that it was taken surreptitiously.

      Locks keep honest people honest, as long as the app is up front about it and lets users make the choice, I don’t mind.
