Currently yes, but that's a fixable problem.

For instance Twitter could start preventing users from having profile pics that look similar to NFTs that were minted earlier.



Except copyright and trademark laws exist. The Washington Redskins lost their trademark. You can create as many NFTs of their logo as you want. But you cannot stop me from putting that logo on my website.


Showing NFTs on your website will not increase your status, because nobody will know if you paid for them or not.

Showing NFTs on your profile on a website that only accepts verified NFTs (see my previous message for what I mean by that) will increase your status.
