<![CDATA[Cannot copy text from Facebook posts]]>When I'm interested in a Facebook post, I may want to copy some text for usage elsewhere.

Holding my finger down on a word, in an area that I want to copy, does not highlight the word, nor bring up the floating COPY menu.

If you can save the webpage as pdf, you can still copy. Though, it would break some lines of HTML code for a bulky website but will work for Facebook.
Otherwise, if you have desktop, the best option will be to download a copyright protection remover extension.
Good Luck!

That's why, it is impossible to copy any text.
BTW, I tried on Chrome, still unable to copy.
