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.

I think Facebook puts some copyright protection code in front of the web page. That's why, it is impossible to copy any text.
BTW, I tried on Chrome, still unable to copy.

@alfredo-b-face There's a fix. 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!
