Why do people post quotes on social media

Without saying who it was by? Is that not a form of plagiarism which is also illegal? If you don’t know who quoted it DONT USE IT! 🤷🏽‍♀️

I have seen many quotes posted and by "", such as Eleanor Rosevelt. While she may have said it much of what she said was by others such as Plato.

Unless it was copyrighted by her first. @curiosi

I’m sure they didn’t have a standardized copyrighting system BC 🤦🏽‍♀️ @curiosi
@NoSugarCoating So in your opinion, if Plato or Socrates said it, Eleanor Roosevelt used their thoughts and words (without crediting them) in a copyrighted document a couple of thousand years later and [b][i]I[/i][/b] copy it forty years later in a venue that will not profit either me or Mrs. Roosevelt's descendants financially, my behavior is morally reprehensible?
