public posts

Open online messages

Public posts are social media content visible to anyone, not restricted to friends or followers.

The term distinguishes openly shared material from private or limited-audience posts: Her public posts are all about work, but she shares personal stuff with friends only.

In legal and professional contexts, public posts may be cited as evidence of someone's views or activities.
