My Android phone prevents me from taking screenshots if an app author doesn't want me to.

My Android phone prevents me from recording phone calls at the request of my carrier, even though it's totally legal for me to do so in my jurisdiction.

I'm not loving where this is all going.

The most frustrating part about this "feature" is that you don't know it's enabled until the screenshot is taken and you're left with a picture of nothing.

That and some app authors thinking they're protecting you with this (referring to banking apps in particular)

I want to send my new IBAN to my company, I can, no screenshot allowed on the screen with banking information. So I need to log on their website to do it. At least my new bank allows such screenshot and to copy account information directly from the app.

There is a special place in hell for people providing non copyable text information in the form of screenshots.

And PDF documents in image form. Usually scans of printed copies.

It is fine for historical documents, but doing today means you really want to piss people off. And by the way, PDF files support signatures, both handwritten and digital. There are ways other than printing a 100+ page document and scanning it just so that your signature shows up on a single one of these pages.
