Sites impacted by Google's Panda algorithm have content issues - low quality content issues. But can those be related to having duplicate content? Some SEOs may say so.
But Google's John Mueller said no - duplicate content issues and Panda issues are two different issues he said.
John Mueller answered this on Twitter responding to a Tweet from Marie Haynes asking about this.
