When re-sharing an re-postings become a legal risk.
This has become an issue when the sharing of information on social media platforms turns viral.
Also when you post videos, images and texts on social media platforms such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and the like, you have transferred your copyright to them under the Term of Use clause.
So make sure you:
Cite and reference the original person(s) information that are not your own
Understand and Follow the Copyright guidelines when copying materials online.
And know that you will mostly likely not win against those companies once your material has been posted.
