Social copying is something that happens on various social media platforms and it cannot be avoided. But you need to know how to protect your brand from stealing content. Back in the year 2017, Jeff Allen who is the senior data scientist of Facebook stated that around 40% of traffic on Facebook pages visited the pages that stole or rephrased most of their content. Social media plagiarism is often recognized only when large and established brands try to rip off small brands. And when no one is held responsible for plagiarism on such platforms, it spreads. Facebook was reluctant to remove all the stolen content that was related to anti-vaccination and QAnon conspiracies even after having platform policies that strictly prohibit the posting of any kind of stolen content.
