Why shouldn’t LinkedIn release a feature like this to stop plagiarism?
From the first day of LinkedIn to this day, the one content that I see most frequently is about Plagiarism.
For the past few days, am seeing a lot and lots of Plagiarized content and posts about stopping plagiarism content.
There are several ways to stop plagiarism in LinkedIn like reporting an account, claiming copyright for the original content, reporting a post.
Copying someone’s content and not giving any credits to the original creator is really not acceptable, because creating engaging content which could tempt someone to copy and paste it on their feed and let them enjoy receiving 10k likes, 200 comments is not an easy task.
So, on thinking about how to stop this behavior especially in LinkedIn.
Why shouldn’t LinkedIn introduce a react button for plagiarism?
Linkedin has reactions like Celebrate, support, love, insightful, curious
Likewise, why shouldn’t LinkedIn launch a dislike button?
For example, Thumbs down 👎 is the reaction to represent a certain post as a copied post.
People who know that it is a copied post will react 👎 , so a post that receives lots of thumbs down like 100 thumbs down for 1000 reacts is a copied post, so LinkedIn can detect this and can automatically remove the post or ask the creator to remove it.
If a person is frequently receiving more thumbs-down reactions for more posts, then LinkedIn can ban their account for a week or something.
So, a creator won’t create such posts again and again.
This could possibly decrease the amount of Copied posts.
Questions:
Does this mean nobody should share good content?
No, if a creator wants to share an awesome post, then they can either share it directly using the share button or give credits at the top of the post, so they won’t get a cap.
How can we stop this from affecting the original creator?
Date. A content that is created first will have the oldest date, so with the use of the creation date, we can create another button or verified post symbol to stop cap reactors from attacking the original creator.
Doesn’t this decrease the number of content creators?
Well, maybe it will. But, real content creators won’t have to worry about this.
This Idea could either be stupid or brilliant, but it is simple and requires less work for the reactor.
Maybe there are downsides to this, so let me know your thoughts.
Also, let me know if there is something like this already.
