If you see a social media post asking you to share a message and it explicitly asks you not to use the retweet (Twitter) or share (Facebook) functions but instead to copy the text and post it yourself, ALWAYS stop and check carefully before doing so. It's usually dodgy.

The reason for "Copy don't retweet" or "Copy don't share" is to make it harder to counteract the scam or disinformation, because instead of being able to flag or reply to one original message there are now thousands of separate copies of the same lie. They're gaming the system.

This applies even when it appears to be something quite worthy or reliable, like a suicide prevention campaign or a missing person, and even when someone you know well appears to be posting a personal plea - remember they didn't write the text, they just copied it.
