Citation-backed guides to the systems that govern automated publishing: platform API limits, near-duplicate detection, originality rules. Every claim carries its confidence.https://altineris.com/enhttps://altineris.com/guides/instagram-api-publishing-limits/https://altineris.com/guides/instagram-api-publishing-limits/Instagram's Graph API allows 100 API-published posts per professional account per rolling 24-hour window. How the two-step publish model, container expiry, error 479 and the moving window actually work — with the 100-vs-50 discrepancy resolved and every claim cited.Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://altineris.com/guides/how-platforms-detect-near-duplicates/https://altineris.com/guides/how-platforms-detect-near-duplicates/Meta's published perceptual-hashing family — PDQ, TMK+PDQF, vPDQ and SimSearchNet++ — was engineered to survive re-encoding, crops, blurs and screenshots. What each system matches, why 'transform it a little' was never a strategy, and what publishers should do instead.Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://altineris.com/guides/instagram-originality-and-reach/https://altineris.com/guides/instagram-originality-and-reach/Instagram removes accounts from recommendations when most of what they posted in a rolling 30-day window is content they didn't create. The documented aggregator rule, Meta's explicit list of what does not count as original, and why file edits can't reach this layer.Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://altineris.com/guides/instagram-media-specs-why-uploads-fail/https://altineris.com/guides/instagram-media-specs-why-uploads-fail/The published Instagram Graph API media rules: Stories at 60 seconds and 100MB versus Reels at 15 minutes and 1GB, carousels cropping every card to the first item's ratio, JPEG-only images, server-side re-encoding of every upload — and the local preflight that catches failures before they burn a container.Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://altineris.com/guides/dmca-repeat-infringer-for-automated-publishers/https://altineris.com/guides/dmca-repeat-infringer-for-automated-publishers/Platforms are legally required to terminate repeat infringers — §512 safe harbor is conditioned on it, so enforcement is not discretionary. How takedowns, strikes and counter-notifications actually work at Meta, and why "transformative" in fair-use law does not mean "transformed".Wed, 19 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://altineris.com/guides/how-meta-rights-manager-works/https://altineris.com/guides/how-meta-rights-manager-works/Meta's rights-enforcement product is application-gated: rights holders upload reference files, Meta fingerprints them and continuously scans Facebook and Instagram uploads — matching through compression, cropping, resizing and minor edits — and the rights holder, not Meta, chooses whether a match is muted, blocked or claimed.Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://altineris.com/guides/instagram-automation-rules/https://altineris.com/guides/instagram-automation-rules/Automation is not inherently prohibited: Meta explicitly sanctions Graph-API automation inside published limits. What gets operations banned is the other door — scraping, app reverse-engineering and fake engagement — with a reported enforcement pattern of one warning, then a permanent ban, typically without appeal.Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://altineris.com/guides/eu-dsa-article-17-stay-down/https://altineris.com/guides/eu-dsa-article-17-stay-down/The EU's DSM Article 17 makes content-sharing platforms directly liable for infringing uploads unless they license, filter, and honor notice-and-stay-down — so in Europe, better matching is a legal obligation, not a product choice. The same regulation hands publishers a weapon: DSA dispute bodies reversed 52% of platform decisions they closed in H1 2025.Thu, 20 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMT
