@ChuSGC

Does #Tinyurl still have a way to report abuse? I couldn't find one on their site anymore.

@armact
Thanks for sharing.

Their website (https://peaceAndJusticeNetwork.ca) is pretty safe for TorBrowser, but we would suggest to them to never use #tinyURL.com because it goes through CloudFlare, which allows the #dotCon goliath to track people, or track what might be popular and/or not popular, and allows people to be targetted.

Thanks for sharing.

@yakkoj They do it because #TinyURL, #adfly and other #URLshorteners add #tracking and #analytics to it.

Wer wissen möchte, wohin gekürzte URLs tatsächlich zeigen, kann dies mit einem einfachen Befehl herausfinden.

Auf WhatsApp gerade einen Link von einer Bekannten mit #tinyurl und #ru bekommen. Wenn man auf diesen Link klicken würde (was ich nicht gemacht habe 😀) bekäme man wohl ohne Ende Spam etc.
Das geht wohl gerade stark um, #spam. Aber wir nerds auf Mastodon wissen ja, dass man nicht auf unbekannte Links klickt 😀

Test toot to experiment with ways of tooting reasonable looking links to larger online video files with the current #mastodon framework:

"Oh it's Cloudflare…"

*blockmarks*

The following #urlShortening sites are #Cloudflare. Add them to your BLOCKMARK list:

tinyurl.com
is.gd
v.gd

#monopoly #antitrust #corporateClosedInternet #tinyURL #tinyURLDotCom #isDotGD #VDotGD #blockmark

HOLY DAMN!!!

The website tinyurl.com has become a #webApp that is impossible to use on privacy browsers!

@oilyfish
I thought URL shortening was built into the #Mastodon server. If you enter an URL, you should see that the number of characters deducted from your allowance is less than the number of characters in the URL.

I can't suggest an URL shortener but I will say that #tinyurl is the worst of them b/c of the #netneutrality abuse of #CloudFlare. All 3rd party URL shorteners (e.g. bit.ly) abuse #privacy to some extent (it's how they make money).

@oilyfish
I can't follow your #tinyURL links because it imposes the great wall of #CloudFlare, which blocks #Tor users.

Did anybody else notice that #TinyURL now uses SSL (HTTPS) for all links?
