Please tell me what you think about these situations. Are they rude or acceptable?
1. You make a post about something on Facebook. One of your 'friends' comment that they like your post and that they are 'stealing' it. They proceed to cut and paste it as a post (word for word) as if they had written it themselves.
2. You post a status with a photo and a comment. The photo was sent to you by a loved one. An in law post it as a status. They took it from your post and made their own status wth your photo as if it was theirs.
Yay, or nay?
Both of these things happened to me recently. I would not personally do either. I might share their status with the photo and add a comment or just comment on their photo. I would never copy something someone else wrote as if I had done it myself. But this is a new-ish world and the etiquette may be lost on me.
