I would think the statement "this means that others may make their own copies of Content from your repositories" is referring to cloning the forked repos locally.
Instead, I'd read "copies of Content" as referring to copies produced and consumed entirely through GitHub's services, which can exist independently from the original. E.g., if you have a public repo, someone else forks it, and you delete the original, the other person can still view their fork on GitHub. They can also modify that fork through GitHub's services, e.g., by editing files via the website.
