I am doing a lot of research on this topic, but I haven't found a straight answer yet.

Let's say you are reviewing an online class (either on YouTube or another e-learning platform). After reviewing this class based on your own research and opinions, you want to add a couple of comments internet users have posted about that class.

Would copying and pasting these comments in your website post (without writing the users' names) constitute copyright infringement or violation of privacy laws?

And what about posting a screenshot of those comments?

Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks and stay well!
