I know I've posted my "Don't use link shorteners" spiel in both #CoSoSec and #SecurityHygiene

But don't just take my work for it: https://gcs.civilservice.gov.uk/blog/link-shorteners-the-long-and-short-of-why-you-shouldnt-use-them/

The one exception is when you need an easy-to-remember link you're displaying in a physical space somewhere.

Conversely don't click on shortened links - don't trust them, ask the original sender to send you the actual link. (This goes for apple news too since many of us don't use iphones/macs)
