Remove Tracking Parameters From Links

HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS! example.com/artic?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=emai youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=Aa1Uc_frHXCOay85 These are source identifiers 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, thus and 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="

A brightly colored informational meme angrily points out tracking parameters in shared URLs, including utm_source and si values. The joke is the exaggerated command to remove this “shit” from links, turning a real privacy tip into an urgent reaction image. It is sent when sharing links or warning others about online tracking and referral identifiers.
