Content stolen; what do i do?

you could file for copyright claim

Always tag your stuff so it can't be cropped out if someone uses it.

You can try to report it to TT, but comment on the post and tell them that the other commenters that the poster stole your content and that the original is on your page and encourage them to report the stolen post as well. This lady I follow got her TT removed bcuz other people were using her name to make fake accounts to scam people and they were allowed to keep their stuff but the original account was banned, which isn't fair at all

tiktok might be going away tomorrow. does it really matter?

It's kind of been this unspoken secret. I could go take anybody's anything and as long as I keep it relatively under the radar I could get away with it easily.
