https://f-droid.org/packages/com.trianguloy.urlchecker/

if youre in android, the URLchecker app is really helpful for cleaning links, it acts as your default browser so links are opened in an editable form, and you jump into a regular browser from there. Ihighly recommend it

not sure about the security of it though 🤷‍♀️

No problem. In the future copy and open the link in a browser (I use Firefox on Android), then copy that link and delete everything after the question mark. You doxxed your tiktok account to anyone who opened the original tracking link fyi

Do you happen to know if any privacy frontends work for tiktok like invidious does for youtube? I use LibRedirect for everything I can, but it only displays proxitok, which hasn't worked for well over a year, and offtiktok, which doesn't seem to have any public instances listed. So I'm guessing there just is no frontend landscape for tiktok like there is for youtube, reddit, etc.?

Sorry to ask you out of the blue, but it sounds like you might be well versed in this kind of thing.

The extension Lib Redirect you set this king of thing up for all kinds of websites, including tiktok

I know, I use it for all kinds of websites. For tiktok specifically, the frontends it redirects tiktok urls to are proxitok and offtiktok, and I mentioned the issues with those.

@CyborgMarx@hexbear.net you can disable that "feature" somewhere in the settings under Privacy > Suggest your account to others > People who open or send links to you, but the tracking links do a lot more than just reveal the account

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely do that for my main account

[-] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Thanks for the heads up, it was a burner account anyway that's been linked to a dozen times already, but it's good I can now disable the tracker

Wait. Hold on. Do we know this actually happened? Were there other witnesses? He is, first and foremost, a celebrity and entertainer. He is a man in show business. And a left wing commentator being detained? That's an obvious ratings booster. How do we know this isn't just the stunt of an entertainer?

Just doing due diligence. How do we know this actually happened?

He missed a day or two of streaming, which harmed his income.

[-] SerLava@hexbear.net 37 points 1 day ago

Nah he wouldn't lie about this and does not need the boost. They would absolutely do this, and if he made it up it's actually very likely that some groyper in the administration would reveal that it never happened

Right, hypothetically, could someone lie brazenly to the public about being questioned by TSA? Wouldn't there be a significant risk of being revealed to be a liar? And for what?

If that’s the way you think, I’ll just say have fun living your miserable life. Boogeyman around every corner, don’t believe your eyes and ears, no real actions are ever taken, every word spoken to you criticized, everything a lie.

lol

As they say “nothing ever happens”.

Even if he did, good for him. That's funny as hell and, dare I say... le good!
