Will WordFence block Social Media Scrapers?

I had SiteLock, and we had to set up something special to allow social media scrapers to access preview info, like a thumbnail and snippet. I just installed WordFence on one site, and I tried posting to Minds.com and just got the post title, and I tried posting to Facebook, and it immediately blocked it as “spam”. Has anyone had a problem posting to social media? Will this allow scapers to gather some info to make a nice post?

BTW with minds.com and SiteLock, we could not locate specific IPs, and not sure FB, Twitter, etc are open about theirs, to add to a white list.
