X and Threads do this too. I wish they all wouldn't, messing with screenshots should only ever be done when preventing them as a security measure.

They shouldn't even disallow screenshots from a security measure. If the user wants to take a screenshot of their bank account info or a password manager they should. Maybe an additional permission for screenshare. No device has protection against a second device taking a recording so it's really just security theater

Even preventing them shouldn't be possible. It's just security theater anyway. You can easily capture it with another camera.

Reddit as well. Although they let you disable it from what I remember.
