No data is passed to the controller when you post to a route. Instead, you access the data through the Request object by injecting it into the method, or by using the Request:: or Input:: facades.

protected function postStatus(Illuminate\Http\Request $request)
{

    $data = $request->all();

    return Posts::create([
        'user_name' => $data['user_name'],
        'body' => $data['body'],
        'photo' => $data['photo'],
        'visibility' => $data['visibility'],
    ]);
}
