Can I post duplicate content?
In short, Circleboom does not recommend its users to post duplicate content, especially on LinkedIn or Facebook. Such actions may end up with removing Circleboom's access token to your account and even the suspension of your social account.
To check if your post is duplicate content or not, we look for all your posts within the last seven days. If the platform rules strictly prohibit duplicate content, as in the case of Facebook and LinkedIn, scheduled posts with duplicate content will fail.

And if you are into reposting on social media, you may still benefit from your old posts with a few small changes via Circleboom.
How can Circleboom help with social media reposting
To use the social media reposting feature on Circleboom, you first need to visit your “Sent Items” from the left menu on your dashboard.
Here, you can see your old posts and filter them by date, platform, account, etc. Find the post you'd like to repost, and you will see these options: “Post to Queue”, “Schedule Again”, and “Edit Post”.
If you want to redesign your post, you can edit it. Then, you'll be taken to the original post and see it before you as a draft to make any changes.

With that said, here are some more details about duplicate content on social media:
Duplicate Content on Facebook
If you post the same content simultaneously for different Facebook accounts, those posts can be perceived as spam or bot activity by Facebook, and your account might be punished.
While we recommend you make at least slight changes to your posts for different FB accounts, even if you want to share the identical posts, please make sure to post them at other times. Through the scheduling features of Circleboom Publish, you can post them by leaving some time between your duplicate posts.
Duplicate Content on LinkedIn
LinkedIn has strict policies on duplicate content, and they do not support the use of personal profiles for advertising purposes. Posting the same content for different LinkedIn accounts may lead to the suspension of your account, either temporarily or permanently if you keep sharing duplicate posts.
Duplicate Content on X (Twitter)
As clearly stated by Dev Team of X (Twitter), "posting identical Tweets over multiple hours or days, or scheduling duplicate content for future publication is still a violation" of Twitter rules. Thus, sharing duplicate content may result in being suspended by Twitter, and we strongly advise you not to share duplicate posts on Twitter.
Duplicate Content on Instagram
Instagram is another platform where you should avoid sharing duplicate content. Reposts must be clearly stated, and for your account safety, please do not share the exact same text for your Instagram posts, even if you use an image you recently posted.
Does Google penalize for duplicate content across social media platforms?
Google generally doesn't penalize for duplicate content across social media platforms. While it's true that Google prefers unique content, the way it handles duplicate content on social media is different from how it handles it on websites.
Social media platforms are designed for sharing and reposting. This is a core feature of these platforms, and Google understands that. Social media signals are used to understand user intent and engagement. Google uses factors like likes, shares, and comments to determine the quality and relevance of content, even if it's shared multiple times.
Google's focus is on providing the best user experience. If multiple sources are sharing the same high-quality content, it's likely that users will find it valuable.
