Repost radar
Repost radar looks for copies of your library posts in other channels on Onflow Ads that were posted without a licence. It tells the channel that copied the post how to put it right, and, on plans that include alerts, it tells you.
Radar alerts to the source owner start at Plus. A channel that copied a post is told about the match on every plan.
Where radar looks
Radar compares the fingerprints of new posts with the posts in Syndicate libraries. It looks only at channels connected to Onflow Ads whose owners switched Post fingerprints on. It never reads channels outside Onflow Ads. See Channel facts and your consent.
A match is a post with the same picture or video, or text that is nearly the same. Very short texts are not matched. Radar leaves out channels that hold a licence for the post, your own channels, and any post published before yours.
What happens on a match
- The channel that copied the post is told which library post it matches and offered two ways to put it right: add the attribution line, or take a licence. If it is not a copy, they can say so in one tap, and our team reviews it.
- You get an alert on the Radar tab, if your plan includes radar alerts.
Radar never penalises anyone by itself. A match is a hint, not a finding; nobody's reliability score changes because of it. If someone copied your work and does not put it right, you can make a copyright complaint. See Copyright complaints.
