I did that many years ago but with email... I sent a secret link from and to a microft email address and it was then accessed by a microsoft bot...

  Of course, they inspect received/sent email for spam/antivirus purposes

    I've had these inspections deplete single-use links such as a Slack magic login link. I actually side with "GET should be idempotent" but it's still annoying.

    It can also be used for safety/security — i.e. I believe GMail proxies remote images through their own servers.

      Fastmail as well. It minimizes attack surface on a client. If you send an email to bob@fastmail.com, fastmail's IP is recorded as accessing the image, not Bob's home IP address.
