When using og:image the website tell other sites that Facebook and other social media platforms can use this image as a preview for a shared link.
If I have a site that is not a social media platform, like a blog or just a news collection site, can I use their image specified in og:image?
This question has been asked before on other forums but no one seems to have an answer for it.
This one question can be split into a few subquestions:
- Can I use an image from a site from
og:imageon my site as a preview of a news snippet Without breaking a copyright rule? - How can Facebook download and use
og:imagewithout asking anyone about it?og:is not a Facebook specific tag.
For more context around my question: I'm building a site that collects news from various sources and on the site group them by location. I know Google will not like it because of duplicate content but my trafic will come direct trafic from returning users.
