RE: Standing Together Against Plagiarism
I'm curious, do you need proof of plagiarism when feeling out forms and tagging and flagging? I feel stealing someone else's work is theft, but as crime grows here and more vigilantes step up, is there a chance good people are going to get hurt by false claims? Will people purposefully tag another's work as plagiarism just to see them go down?
The forms require links to the material that is being stolen. So you can't just fill it out without providing some proof. Both Steemcleaners and Submarine are very thorough and either can be approached if something is believed erroneous.
Ok, so once they have the links, is there some sort of algorithm they perform to find the original to compare it to?
