Social media post subscribe requests for buffer user accounts

Abstract:

An approach for publishing posts on a social network through one or more user accounts with different levels of attribution is disclosed. A secure user account publishes a post through a programmatically linked buffer user account. The secure user account and the buffer user account are programmatically linked. Posts published via the buffer user account can be modified to add attribution image data or other visual indicators of the original post creator.
