Too bad tiktok generates URLs not only from which content is being linked to, but also the user generating the link.
And once the industry realized that users don't revolt at this privacy invasion, it has been spreading.
- jonas-w 3y agoThats why I instantly put these links into a service like https://unshorten.me/ https://unshorten.me/ and then send/open them. I use urlchecker [0] for this on my phone and have it set as my" browser" that way, every link i click on, I see a popup with the link and with one or two button presses I can remove the tracking parameters and/or unshorten it and then open it. Works like a charm. May be to much friction for some, but I like it. [0] https://www.f-droid.org/de/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker/ https://www.f-droid.org/de/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecke...
- yborg 3y agoI don't think this will work on those TikTok links though?
- jonas-w 3y agoDon't use TikTok, so can't say, but never had an Issue with these types of tracking links.
- npteljes 3y agoThis works only if they implement it via HTTP redirect. If the backend does the tracking and then just loads the content, then the client is none the wiser.
