Defeating the Metabot to Share Whistic’s Survey Outcomes

There are some issues that I don’t trouble to share within the Bredemarket weblog, however as an alternative simply share to my socials.

This morning, I shared a narrative concerning the third-party threat administration agency Whistic to LinkedIn’s Bredemarket Know-how Agency Providers web page.

You possibly can see an oft-used Bredemarket approach: somewhat than sharing every little thing from a 3rd social gathering (geddit?) article, I solely share a little bit of it, then encourage the reader to click on on the hyperlink to see the remainder of the content material. Makes everyone joyful. What might go flawed?

Then I shared the identical story to Fb’s Bredemarket Know-how Agency Providers web page.

Or tried to.

First try to share to Fb

Fb eliminated the submit, accusing me of utilizing “deceptive hyperlinks or content material to trick folks.”

I’m so devious that even I couldn’t work out what I did.

Till I re-read the submit and seen this parenthetical remark.

(And another key discovering. Learn the article.)

Doesn’t seem to be a trick to me, however I explicitly urged folks to depart Fb’s walled backyard and browse one thing.

I do that on a regular basis—Fb is the second hottest site visitors supply for Bredemarket, after Google—however apparently the way in which I did it within the Whistic submit was a trick to Fb’s readers.

Second try to share to Fb

The answer was easy: repost the article WITHOUT the offensive parenthetical remark.

So I did.

And Fb eliminated the submit once more.

This isn’t the primary time Fb has rejected content material that different platforms accepted with out query…together with different Meta platforms corresponding to Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp.

I used to be this near ceasing content material sharing on Fb altogether.

However then I had an thought.

Now I’m partaking in actual trickery

If I’m offending Zuck by utilizing textual content to supposedly trick folks into clicking on a hyperlink…

…what would occur if I ONLY posted a hyperlink with no textual content in any respect?

And somewhat than posting the textual content of curiosity in Fb’s walled backyard…

…I put the textual content of curiosity within the Bredemarket weblog, together with the Whistic hyperlink that offended Fb a lot?

Then I might share it on character-limited platforms corresponding to Threads and Bluesky.

You see the irony right here. For some time I’ve strived to position social content material natively on every platform. Now the platforms are forcing me to position the true content material on a platform I management.

And the textual content would look one thing like this:

What I attempted to say this morning

Yearly, Whistic surveys a whole lot of Threat-Administration and Data Safety leaders to grasp the developments, challenges, and alternatives which can be actively shaping the third-party threat administration (TPRM) trade.

In 2025, the common firm in our survey works with 286 distributors—up by 21% versus final yr….That elevated demand comes with elevated threat.

[C]ompanies are spending extra time, more cash, and extra assets on TPRM, however nonetheless not assembly their very own threat requirements or lowering safety occasions.
