Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"
This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows:
Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.
When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers.
Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="
I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

This warmongering fucker needs to be impeached
And if you're offended by my language, consider that I'm a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer and presidential historian who has done more research on the fact that Trump and Netanyahu planned this war for years than anyone writing in English

This is a reckoning. Raleigh, NC is flooding the streets with one message: ICE is a violent gang.

And if you stand with eitherβyouβre a fucking enemy.

Copy of a post from another social media site where:
Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Republican Gov. of Arkansas) says: "What's happening in California would never happen here in Arkansas because we value order over chaos."
Gavin Newsom (Democratic Governor of California) responds:
"Your homicide rate is literally DOUBLE California's.

"One of the most disturbing images of the Covid-19 pandemic was when a teacher .. forced a mask on a crying toddler ..
In some ways, the U.S. government.. treated all of us like toddlers, compelling us to endure draconian Covid measures" - @HRaleighspeaks
RFK Jrβs ACIP pick, Martin Kulldorff, said one of the most disturbing images from the pandemic was a toddler crying about having to wear a mask. I see toddlers cry about everything all the time, and I found it far more disturbing to see refrigerator trucks full of body bags outside of the hospitalsβ¦

Not all resistance wears a bullhorn.
Some write letters.
Some carry water.
Some raise their voices.
Some raise the spirits.
Some paint banners, others hold them.
Every role matters.
This is a chorus, not a solo.
Show up how you can.
We need you all.

California is home to the most immigrants out of any state in the nation.
We also have the strongest economy out of any state in the nation.
Not despite our immigrant population ββ but because of it.

It depends on the gathering. If invitations are sent out like the sender is throwing the party, then A.
If itβs more of a Hey letβs all get together and throw a party for X, whoβs in? Then I would probably expect to contribute

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear:
The attack on free speech isnβt comingβitβs already here.
Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the mediaβs playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.
