The Mail Online is investigating after a website set up by a prominent British anti-Muslim activist republished some of its stories word for word without permission.
Former Britain First deputy leader Jayda Fransen, 33, told her Instagram followers she was launching a new "venture" after leaving the far-right political party earlier this year.
She directed people to sign up for her new website, called Jayda Fransen Online, where she wrote: "The Time is short, and a war is coming. I am ready for it, but the question is... are YOU?"
Alongside updates about her various legal cases and videos of appearances on far-right YouTube channels, Jayda Fransen Online has been publishing news articles on various topics like Islam, migrants, and abortion.
BuzzFeed News found 28 articles that Fransen has published in the last 40 days that have been reproduced in part or in full from mainstream news websites. Several have only a few words removed, while others contain the same spelling mistakes from the original news articles.
Of the 28 articles, 14 have been republished nearly word for word from the Mail Online, including stories with the headlines "Jihadi Bride gets Legal Aid from UK taxpayers", "Net Migration will see England's population hit 60million by 2029", "Liberal passengers STOP Somali rapist being deported from UK" and "Pro-Life Alabama lawmakers seek to reverse Roe v Wade".
A spokesperson for the Mail Online said the news website did not give Fransen permission to run the stories, adding, "We are launching an investigation."
Of the other 14 news articles Jayda Fransen Online published, three were plagiarized from the Daily Telegraph, two were from the Guardian, and the rest were taken from an assortment of other mainstream news outlets.
A spokesperson for the Daily Telegraph said: "These pieces were not syndicated by The Telegraph. This is now being looked into by the relevant parties."
The Guardian's spokesperson also said the news outlet had not given Fransen permission: "We have not licensed or given permission for our content to be republished."
Fransen did not respond to a request for comment.
On Thursday, Facebook announced Fransen had been banned from Facebook and Instagram after the company said she and other prominent British far-right individuals and organisations had "spread hate".
Her Instagram account @officialjaydafransen, where she promoted Jayda Fransen Online, was later removed from the platform.
It's not the first time this year nonmainstream news sources have been caught using copy from mainstream news sources in the UK without permission.
Earlier this year, BuzzFeed News revealed that pub chain Wetherspoons had been using news stories for its pro-hard Brexit magazine that were published by the Daily Telegraph, Financial Times, and Spectator.
