This is exactly what Section 18 Paragraph 3 of the Interstate Media Treaty (MStV), which has been in force since the end of 2020, addresses. It states: “Providers of telemedia in social networks are obliged to indicate the fact of automation in the case of content or messages created automatically using a computer program, provided that the user account used for this purpose was made available for use by natural persons in terms of its external appearance. The content or message must be clearly preceded or accompanied by a note that it was created and sent automatically using a computer program that controls the user account.
Creation within the meaning of this provision occurs not only when taiwan phone numbers content and messages are automatically generated immediately before sending, but also when prefabricated content or a pre-programmed message is automatically used when sending.” Do you now have to mark auto-postings by bots? The question is what exactly that means, because many website operators use a certain degree of automation. It is not unusual to write posts and then plan a later publication. There can be many reasons for this, such as vacation, publication outside of working hours, weekends and so on.
The new regulation is obviously aimed at completely automated bots that generate and publish postings without human intervention and want to create the impression that a human has written them. This is certainly applicable to one or another online service or to certain website plugins. There are services and plugins that you register with or install once, and then they post older articles on Facebook and the like. There are various plugins for WordPress that make this possible, such as Revive Old Posts , which automatically searches out old articles, creates social media posts from them and publishes them. You don't have to do anything with it later on; it happens completely automatically.
