Yes, it is. I've tried it on Facebook several times (since I try to avoid clicking on external links on the platform) and it shows related links the moment I finish the right click and copy link location action. There is some variation depending on where one clicks (on the image that has a link or the actual hyperlink), but Facebook definitely knows in most cases what URLs someone is copying to the clipboard. The first time I saw it I was very annoyed.
- nannal 10y agoBecause the website notorious with spying on every single user action was spying on a user action?
- atbentley 10y agoI get annoyed by it too, because sometimes I want to read an article but don't necessarily want fb to continue serving those articles to me. I don't really know what happens inside the Facebook machine, but I imagine clicking a link indicates you are interested in a topic. Sometimes I just want to read trash.
- nannal 10y agoSo google the title in an incognito window, or alternative and preferably, stop using that site all together.
- atbentley 10y agoYes, I tend to do something along those lines when I don't want to be tracked. To the original point, it's an annoying extra step to have to do but not unreasonable enough to stop using the site, I'm simply answering your question on why someone might find it annoying.
