There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

That privacy-protecting screenshot detection “feature” sounds like DRM. Android will likely prevent screenshots on websites and content that requests it.

(android can already tell if you take a screenshot…)

That isn’t the purpose of the new API. Apps can already prevent screenshots by using FLAG_SECURE.

The purpose is to move away from the resource- and privacy-invasive ways that apps implement screenshot detection today, such as through monitoring the directory in which screenshots are saved. The new functionality will require a permission and will no longer require the apps to have access to the screenshots themselves.

That sounds much more reasonable. Thanks for the details.

Some apps already implement a similar feature. My banking app always returns a blank screen if I try to take a screenshot.

All I want is to be rid of comic sans. Android 12 font is awful
