Guides to automated publishing
Plain-language, citation-backed explainers of the platform systems that govern automated publishing — the rate limits, the detection layers, the originality rules.

The 100-posts-per-24-hours moving window, the two-step container model, error 479, and the 100-vs-50 discrepancy resolved — every claim cited to Meta’s own documentation.
READ THE GUIDE →RIGHTS · LEGAL · DMCA19 AUG 2026The DMCA repeat-infringer rule for automated publishers
