8 d. ago An influencer plagiarised my life story on TikTok. Social media thrives on mimicry – but this was a step too far | Esme Hewitt

At its best, the internet can be a space where people share stories and ideas. But the line between inspiration and theft can easily become blurredLast month, I wrote an article about being adopted by a British couple during the era of China’s one-child policy. Three days after the story ran in a national newspaper, my phone buzzed with a flurry of messages from a friend who had sent me a TikTok post by an influencer telling her life story to camera. Twenty seconds into her video, my jaw plummeted. She had recited entire sections of my article, word for word, to her 20,000 followers.
