Does a mobile site count as duplicate content?
When designing a website, it is worth taking care of its responsiveness, i.e. its proper adaptation to mobile devices. A responsive website (Responsive Web Design) is a website that automatically adjusts its resolution to the size of the device's display. A responsive website IS NOT TREATED AS A DUPLICATE.
However, it happens that some websites have a completely separate page in the mobile version, which is available at a different address.

Is content syndication duplicate content?
Syndication is nothing more than the conscious and voluntary sharing of already published content with other services. Such services allow content to be added to another page and reprinted by other users. If you undertake such an action, make sure that in the case of an already published article, its source is provided, i.e. the place where its original version is located (link to the page). In this way, the robot will come across duplicate content but will link it to the appropriate source.
