Quote Posts Fairly
2 min readUpdated 1 Jul 2026Required when you quote social posts
Posts get deleted, edited and taken out of context. Quote them so readers can see what was said, by whom and when.
When you quote a post:
- Link it and add an archived copy.
- Give the date, and the author's role if it matters.
- Don't quote private people's posts without a good public-interest reason.
