@umrath @Gargron By that logic Netflix should give you the option to download and share movies, because you can technically already do it now (legality aside for the moment). But it is not in their interest so they wont add a download button.

Well, legality is a pretty strong reason.
Monetization as well.

So, this comparison is way off.

@umrath @Gargron Another example: Sure an iPhone user can Jailbreak their device, so that they have full access to the device. By your logic Apple should add a button to jailbreak the device. But they wont because it is not in their interest.

Again: Not available to the vast majority of the users.
And again: comparing apples and oranges as the company has a very strong interest (money) to prevent this.

Also there is the slight difference that 99,5 % of the Netflix users are probably not able to do what you described.

I would argue that 99,5 % of the Mastodon users are able to manually copy and paste a link and add a comment to do what is supposed to be prevented.

@umrath @Gargron That is a fair argument. I see that there is a difference.
