Copyright
Our country's Copyright Law (Law nº 9.610 of February 19, 1998) does not have any specific information about social networks, due to the time when it was created. However, legal experts recommend always giving credit to the author of the content. Otherwise, it could be considered plagiarism.
According to lawyer Ana Clara Ribeiro, if the author of the post does not like it, he can request that it be deleted. One of the ways to ensure that this doesn't happen is to ask for permission to repost. This can be done by commenting on the original post or via private message.
Even if you don't get a response, you'll have a record that you tried to let him know. However, under no circumstances use third-party content for profit. Also don't take the photo or video out of context. In such cases, there are real chances of being sued by the creator.
There are people who save the images they want on their cell phone or PC to make new posts. However, they do not have the credits of the original author, which is not recommended. Therefore, be cautious.
