GoKawiilMeta's new link-posting limits hit government and nonprofit Facebook pages
Meta is testing restrictions that cap how many links Facebook pages can post per month unless they pay for a Meta One subscription starting around $50. Greenville, Texas communications manager Daniel Starks says the city's library page was capped at two links monthly, despite Meta saying nonprofits and government pages should be exempt. Other verified nonprofit pages report the same restrictions, prompting some organizations to stop posting links directly and instead place them in comments.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The test appears tied to Meta's broader push to convert free users of its platform into paying subscribers, which could reshape how public institutions communicate online. If government and nonprofit pages are swept into these limits despite Meta's stated exemption, it suggests gaps between Meta's policy and its enforcement that could affect public access to official information. Organizations relying on free reach for civic or charitable messaging may be forced to adapt their communication strategies or pay to maintain visibility.
- Meta is testing a cap limiting non-subscribers to two link posts per month on Facebook pages.
- Government and nonprofit pages, which Meta says should be exempt, are reportedly being affected anyway.
- Affected organizations like Greenville, Texas are shifting to posting links in comments instead of main posts.
