Here I would rather think that a label according to § 18 paragraph 3 MStV is necessary, even if even that was probably not the aim or intention of this new law (after all, these services and plugins only take over the headlines written by the authors and do not generate anything themselves), but the many automated bots that have influenced elections in recent years, for example. Are planned publications affected? I have previously used Buffer to plan social media posts for an article in advance and then publish them automatically.
This naturally raises the question of whether such self-created and taiwan phone numbers later automatically posted posts need to be specially marked? If you read the text of the law more closely, the phrase "content or messages created automatically using a computer program" sounds like it doesn't apply to my approach, because the posts aren't created automatically. I sit down and create them all by hand for a good 1-2 weeks. Only the publication time is then automatically set by Buffer. If anything, only the part "automatically ... sent" applies . Will automatic social media postings have to be labeled in the future? A while ago I also used Zapier . This tool allows you to integrate an RSS feed and then automatically generate social media posts in Buffer,
but I haven't used the tool for a while. In my opinion, using this tool could make it necessary to label it as "automatic posts" because everything happens automatically. Social media postings using IFTTT? The online service IFTTT is another one of those things. It helps with automation by automatically triggering certain actions when something else happens. Here, for example, it is possible to create an RSS feed and then automatically publish social media posts on the various platforms when a new article appears in the RSS feed. This would require labeling if necessary.
