This post appeared within maybe a minute.
So it shows "Just now" (in chinese "剛剛"), not "1m" (in chinese "1分鐘").
I don't know why it was tagged as a "Sponsored".

I think it will also appear in English.
I saw a post was deleted because it shows "Just now".

I'm aware of the "Just now" posts being triggered by the Sponsored rule.

Why it was flagged as Sponsored:
In order for the code not to have/use a dictionary list of "Sponsored" word in various languages, it detects Sponsored posts by looking for a certain HTML code pattern and certain text not having a number in it.

Very few types of posts are triggered as a false-positive hit - "Just Now" just happens to be one of those posts that triggers this rule.

For now, I'm letting the code flag "Just now" posts as Sponsored, until I have more time to refine the Sponsored rule.
