Stories from your Page are not being shown in News Feed. This could be due to activities from your Page that don't comply with Facebook's policies. This limit is temporary and expires DATE.

All Pages must comply with our Page Policies. To see the user feedback on your Page, please view your Page Insights. Why should Facebook remove these restrictions?

In either case, you should work to understand with the party or parties claiming rights to the content you posted.

1. Confirm the party is the actual copyright holder of the content you posted. Email them asking for proof. The email address of the complaint will be in the email you receive from Facebook. The party should be able to provide proof in a reasonable time frame.

If you freely (without the original content owner’s consent) posted a photo or video from the Internet on your Facebook page, the odds are against you in receiving a copyright complaint. Eventually, the owner of that video (or business) may find out you shared it on your page and file a complaint.
