Achievement 3 is solely on Content Etiquettewhich has to deal with PLAGIARISM
Content Etiquette is very necessary and also important at the success of choosing artist/influencers. The word content Etiquette should be well spread among end users to steer clear of having blame games when mistakes happen.
Plagiarism may be seen in different forms which may include it being reckless, unintentional or intentional when used.
