Please remove "?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral" from the URL.

  I hate dinglequeries too. I wish more people would learn what can and can't be removed from a URL before sharing it. It's not that difficult, and it's easy to test that the "minified" version still works.

    Just curious, why do you care so much about them? They are just data for analytics. Everyone is probably just clicking on them not typing manually.

      Because they are data for analytics. Not everyone is a fan of that, especially when the URL points to the servers of a company with such a terrible privacy policy.

        Surely if you dislike analytics, keeping these bogus utm parameters is "good"? They are misleading the webmaster in some form.

      On sites like Reddit (and maybe HN), links with those extra parameters aren't flagged as a duplicate, and end up getting posted multiple times with multiple comment threads.
