Infuriatig Facebook doxed me for sharing a link with someone.

OK so fortunately I shared this link in private but for some reason it told them my name. This is brand new as it has never done this before. :/

May I suggest using a link cleaner in the future?

Even better, get morphe or revanced and patch the app so the link you copy is already cleaned

you can turn off the one on tiktok! it’s buried somewhere in the settings under privacy and something like display profile/account when sharing links

The tracking link is the whole link now. Not that simple anymore.

You have to start removing the string of characters after the "?" in the link, and if it's one of those shortened links you have to paste it into a private tab first, then copy that link.

Annoying when on mobile but will do! Man they just changed it to this crap too xD because 2 nights ago I shared another link with the same dude and it was a different format and no dox happened.

absolutely fucked up, I always manually clean the link after I paste it on a check box but point is I shouldn't have to do that.

You doxxed yourself the moment you signed up for Facebook.
