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)

That's doesn't sound right. On mine, a message is displayed saying that the app does not allow screenshots, and no image is written to the device.
