How can you prevent Phishing sites copying your content?

How can companies like Twitter prevent “Phishing sites” from occurring

The carrier sued the FCC earlier this year in an effort to have the order reversed and as Media Matters reports, one of Verizon’s legal arguments is questionable at best.
