Copyright laws are the same for Social Media as they are for other original works. Copyright applies as soon as a work is created. Therefore anything that is posted to Social Media is owned by someone, and their work should be protected. In saying that perhaps Social Media is not the right medium for them to use. There are exemptions to using copyrighted materials such as for research, education, criticism and review.
