Facebook has started to encrypt links to counter privacy-improving URL Stripping MARTIN BRINKMANN Jul 17, 2022Facebook | 10 Facebook has started to use a different URL scheme for site links to combat URL stripping technologies that browsers such as Firefox or Brave use to improve privacy and prevent user tracking. Some sites, including Facebook, add parameters to the web address for tracking purposes. These parameters have no functionality that is relevant to the user, but sites rely on them to track users across pages and properties.Mozilla introduced support for URL stripping in Firefox 102, which it launched in June 2022. Firefox removes tracking parameters from web addresses automatically, but only in private browsing mode or when the browser's Tracking Protection feature is set to strict. Firefox users may enable URL stripping in all Firefox modes, but this requires manual configuration. Brave Browser strips known tracking parameters from web addresses as well.

Proves Facebook et al are assholes, and that users are still retardedly cheap and dumb to keep demanding "free" over privacy when better alternative models now exist. Distributed networks are growing, costs covered by each participants node contribution to the network. They are slowly obsoleting Facebook et al. Even in centralized world there is huge opportunity to profitably replace Facebook et al rolling out new donation and pay based models using anonymous crypto payments to accounts and/or sites. Many privacy enabled cryptocurrencies offer low transaction costs that make funding months or years in advance possible.
Proves Facebook et al are assholes,
why would such a brutally self-evident fact need any proof? What kind of motherfucking retard, or US cop, would pretend that he just discovered that his JEWNAZI fukerbook employers are 'assholes'? Yeah a motherfucking cop like grancrap is pretending to be upset by what the JEWNAZI NSA does. Priceless.
