Can we build something like this for social media? Post encrypted text and images to store content, use an api to fetch and decrypt in the app?



IIRC people used to take advantage of free google photos by uploading segments of larger files pretending to be photos. I believe there were even front ends that handled everything. But eventually they figured out to re-encode the image on upload which ruined the game. They could probably use the same tool against text but it would be a lot easier to workaround.
