Why not?

I don’t use Twitter, but I think it’s good to know. Being able to test it yourself is valuable, too.

I wonder how many other link shorteners do this?

Mr Free Speech Absolutist

Except when it is about me

Except when it is from a competitor

Except when I don’t like it

As is thier right. My right is to never ever use his service, not even to check links or get emergency info. Fuck 'em.

Use addons.mozilla.org/…/twitter-link-deobfuscator/ to remove the t.co links and link directly to the outgoing site and you can avoid it.

(You should be using it anyway for privacy sake so Twitter can’t track your link clicks)

Stop using Twitter. Stop talking about Twitter. Stop publishing articles about Twitter. Stop keeping Twitter relevant.

Unfortunately, twitter was basically “the journalist’s social media” so they keep writing about it even if most of their readers don’t give a rat’s tail

Better check your privilege and stop dead naming X

They sure do, doesn’t mean their shitty practices shouldn’t be exposed so their users reconsider whether they want to use it or not.

Anyone still using Twitter is too stupid to understand what’s going on.
