I was browsing some articles people have posted here and was disappointed to see that people have been posting the entirety of the article in full without links or sources. Some have.

Don't steal content.

Now, like us here, they too are content creators and they make their money through ads and views on their page. Let's not resort to the Facebook pages where they rip off YouTube creators for Likes and Shares. We are better than that. Instead, I would like recommend a new "template" of how one should post links with stories and articles.

What NOT to do.

A judge in Virginia rules that people should have no expectation of privacy on their home PCs because no connected computer "is immune from invasion."

A federal judge for the Eastern District of Virginia has ruled that the user of any computer that connects to the Internet should not have an expectation of privacy because computer security is ineffectual at stopping hackers.

What should I do if I catch someone content stealing?

Show them this article or, kindly tell them that they should only be providing the lead paragraph with a link to the original article. Also, downvote them until they properly adhere to community guidelines. Best to always give a reason why you are downvoting content!

THANKS
I would like to thank my friend for the suggestion to write up an article about this
