I don’t understand? I don’t know what a shill is and this is not a link from FB. It is a direct link to lindell’s page? Sorry I was just trying to help because they mentioned the video being taken down everywhere else. I will remove my link if I can figure out how, but can you help me understand what is wrong with it so I won’t do it again? I am not tech savvy, just a 55 yo lady patriot trying to keep up with all the news.
The part after the "https://michaeljlindell.com/" bit, that begins with "?fbcid=..." is the Facebook Click ID code. This part isn't needed to get to the target page, but often extra things are added like this so that somebody can track where a given link came from, for their analytics and advertising.
It's an identifying string of gobbledegook that tells somebody how much traffic is being driven from a given link (in this case on Facebook). Somebody's info is encoded in there: "Oh, THIS is the person who shared this link, I see..." says Facebook.
You can usually identify these link trackers by the question mark. "Pure" links don't have question marks. Then the part after that tells you what it is: "fbcid" stands for Facebook Click I.D.
