For example Netflix doesn’t allow to take screenshots, and in discord if you try to screen share the window is black.
I’m sure that other sites do it as well.

When building apps in Android at least, each screen (Activity) has different options, or flags, that can be set. One of those options is private mode, which the Android system (which manages when screenshots are requested) will check for and block the screenshot if it’s been set. So it’s a best practice to set that option on screens with sensitive data, like banking apps. But it doesn’t just apply to screenshots, it blocks recording as well which is why Netflix won’t allow you to just rip movies for sharing. Of course, there are ways around that but it’s very little effort for them to block 99.9% of cases.
