PSA WHEN SHARING LINKS: Please remove anything that comes after a `?` in the url. It is a tracker and puts any Pede that clicks the link at risk of being doxxed by big tech.
Not quite. See mod comment.
Please be careful out there Pedes. ALWAYS check and clean your links before sharing.
EDIT:
Getting a lot of comments about valid use of query parameters (parts with the ? in a url).
It is true, not every query param needs to be removed from a url.
But if you are sharing anything from twitter, fb etc, please remove it (feel free to test the link before hand to make sure it is working)
I think the reason why people get doxxed is because they use Google/ Facebook etc CIA sites from the same browser where they use "censored sites". It has to do with your 3rd party cookies, and your IP address.
The "?" after most URLs (url params), especially twitter, youtube etc indicate where you got the link from - as in who gave you the link. It establishes connection between the user and the person/organisation giving the link. Its used to analytics.
I typically remove the url params before posting the link to others, but for the most part clicking on them will not put you in any danger. If it is coming from a site you dont like, then removing the url params ensures that you are not contributing to their statistics.
If the URL is coming from a patriot site, you might want to give them the stats.
