Along these lines, someone else mentioned that Tiktok embeds direct tracking into URLs already.
Twitter recently started adding a 't=' param to their share links [0] as well, and I can only guess that it's some kind of similar tracking scheme. From watching browser traffic it appears to be generated when you click the share button, but I might be wrong about that.
[0] https://twitter.com/NanoRaptor/status/1548301612246249474?s=20&t=RusKUa5wPxoIqPZKzkDnww https://twitter.com/NanoRaptor/status/1548301612246249474?s=... - the first thing in my feed. Link works fine without any of the query params, of course.
- propogandist 4y agothe params are included when sourcing a shareable link from the website/app (direct links don’t have this). This is a move to mimic tktok’s aggressive tracking practices. Twitter appears to be just analyzing who shares what with whom, but haven’t moved into using it for ‘growth hacking’ like tiktk yet (i.e. join cmg, who shared this link on Twtr)
