Kindly advise on how to handle the situation which happened on a recent trip to Disney.
Day 2: At Hollywood Studios, Beauty and the Beast, the man in front of me was filming the entire show with his cell phone up blocking my view, I asked him several times to lower his arm and he stated "no English" so I moved my family to a row a few steps down to the right after the Be Our Guest number. I told a cast member on the way out and she stated that they are aware of it.
Also on that day we saw Frozen Ever After and a lady a few rows in front of us had an IPAD recording most of the show, not a cell phone. I could not move for we were centered in a large crowd nor could I get the attention of the woman. Outside on the way out, I told her that her IPAD recording ruined the show for everyone behind her and she said "Its my vacation" then her husband said he'll knock me out if I speak to her again". I went back to the theater and told a cast member about the IPAD and she said that she would tell her supervisor.
Day 3 The next day at Animal Kingdom this happened at the Lion King show and within 1 minute, a cast member came over and told her to put down the phone. I saw this later in our section too from the same cast member.
Day 4: The next day at Mickey's Philharmagic, a man did this with his phone, I asked him to put it down and he appeared to not understand English so we moved about 5 seats down.
Anyway.....I am hearing that there have been many fights in Movie Theaters this summer at Barbie and Oppenheimer about cell phones in theaters. Should I just accept that this is the new norm or I am just being a KAREN about this. Any tips or suggestions are appreciated. I do want to throw hands but I would fired if it went viral.

. We use to always video parades, shows and rides and our DDs have re-watched them over and over again going back to when they were infants. They love watching themselves as infants and toddlers
I even copied them to a DVD to play in our van, usually when we are driving to WDW
. We have some great moments caught on video, with our family, not some strangers. Like the time during a parade where a WDW dancer asked for our video camera and started filming us and then the other dancers and characters, and told us to follow. Then Jessie saw her and she took it and filmed our family with the dancer and Woody, it was crazy and a once in a lifetime moment. Yes, we have the memory but it's 100 times better when you can actually relive it by watching the video. Videos of rides are hilarious, the faces that our family have made while on them are priceless, again I cannot get that by searching youtube. So, that is why we like to video. My DW and I are never hold our cameras above our own eye level, so not to interfere with the people behind us. Also, we would never use an ipad to take videos, because there is no way you can NOT interfere with some ones view with those, not to mention who would want to carry those big things around all day. LOL
