“I was reading 100 Kano on Young Jump, and my phone started vibrating, causing me to screenshot, only to get my account banned. I'm so angry.”

After contacting customer service, the user received a message from Young Jump stating that it detected the user taking screenshots and video recordings within the manga viewer more than a certain number of times on his account, so they took measures to suspend his use of the service.

The user also mentioned that he had a setting on his iPhone that allowed him to take a screenshot while double-tapping the phone, which he has since disabled. Based on earlier posts on X in October, the same user received a warning after accidentally using his iPhone's tap function to take screenshots while reading manga.

While some have agreed that publishers have to stay vigilant to fight piracy, others have questioned whether it was the right move after considering the negative impacts that the countermeasures could have on the users who pay to read manga legally.

But what if use takes another phone to take a picture of the phone with manga ?

Or what if user uses pc android emulator and dies a screenshot of the emulator ?
