RE: 🚨 Someone Stole My Writing Here and Reposted It Elsewhere 🚨
What makes me a little perplexed is the following question: How were you able to discover this abuse so quickly?

I have an account there, and I've been doing the writing prompts. I was logging in to check out the latest prompt and suddenly saw my own words. I thought I had mistakenly opened the Steemit tab. I still couldn't understand what was happening, so I clicked into the post. It turned out this person had copied my entire post and published it in the very community where I participate in writing prompts.
I would never have found out if I hadn't been on PeakD. That's why I quickly composed a post to reclaim my writing and also to warn others. I'm not sure how we're going to sweep or check for this, but I tried running my own post through a plagiarism checker, and it led back to my original links. I'm not sure if that's the most effective way to find other posts that might be stolen; it would mean I'd have to copy each of my posts to check, which would waste so much time.
Yeah, three hours was quite fast; most of my friends on Medium took a while, or never discovered it at all if not for fellow writers recognizing their work and informing them.
