Morphology

go + up

There is a clear compositional link: 'go' = become and 'up' signals a change into an 'up' state, so the idea of something becoming available is partially derivable. However, the specific reading 'be posted / uploaded / published (online)' depends on a metaphorical extension of up = online/published and on discourse conventions, so a B1 learner who only knows the literal words may not reliably infer this exact sense.

Etymology

Go up — The use of go up for online posts comes from the old idea of putting a notice 'up' on a wall: when an article or photo is placed on a website it 'goes up', so it means 'to be posted'.
