So have the rules against plagiarism become laxer or not?
This is a little bit confusing, to be honest.

In 2019, when there was massive blocking, the attitude towards plagiarism was very tough. Accounts that were found to have a copy of 1 sentence or just a few phrases were blocked.
Today, when compared to 2019, the rules are very soft. For an account to be banned, you need to give several examples of plagiarism.
For example, the account that copied the entire large text is still alive. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg59486216#msg59486216
Yesterday's case of visual copying also went unnoticed. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1926895.msg59541265#msg59541265
Conclusion: yes, today you can copy and go unpunished. BUT it is a dangerous game with fire.
One day, such a purge in 2019 will certainly happen again.
