There is a lot of talk through social media accounts, as they include text posts, music, media, and acting. What increases their importance is that they have a great financial value, because through them money and fame are obtained, and there is not enough to protect what is published in those accounts because they are not legally regulated. But about searching for... The nature of these contents is that the jurisprudential opinions, even if they are few, have classified these contents as pure intellectual property for the user of the electronic account, since they contain the elements of intellectual property, namely originality and innovation. However, in light of the position of American legislation, we see that the position of American law and jurisprudence was stemming from the instructions of the companies providing the service as We included it according to texts, and these contents were considered to be pure intellectual property also for the user on social networking sites, and originality and innovation in these contents are also required by law. However, the companies did not stipulate that these contents be original and innovative, but rather made that within the powers of the laws. The home country of the user of the electronic account is the one that determines that.
