Is it legal to use content found from Facebook pages?

Hi There, I was wondering if you are allowed to copy content from a Facebook page that had been anonymously submitted in?

    It's not like you're gonna get in jail for that, but it's always best to, at least, rephrase what you get.

    Not only because it can't be considered plagiarism anymore, but you also give your identity to what' written.

    If everything you write has the same tone, your touch, it's more relatable and people feel better, coz they start feeling they know you.

    My 2 cents

    Cheers

    This is the copyWRITING forum, not the copyRIGHT forum. Two different things.

    Be wary of taking anyone's advice to just rewrite stuff. You're always better off writing your own thing. If you want to legally use someone else's words, check with an intellectual property attorney.
