just to clarify: ACR is actually not taking a screenshot, it calculates a fingerprint of the picture and sends it to a server.

The fingerprint is then checked against a database of some common content, to understand whether you're watching some Movie/Series on DVD/BluRay or with an external set-top-box.

Not sure if porn is even fingerprinted in that database, would probably be 100% more fingerprints... /s
