But if you don't use the platform then this new link format doesn't affect you?
Do you know that almost every "share on Facebook" button on a random news article/blog post collects data from you, if you don't have strong privacy protection enabled? That means even if you have never registered a Facebook account, Facebook could gather your page view data and use that to show ads targeting you on another page.
Same thing here.
I agree that Facebook also collects data in other ways, but this is entirely unrelated.
What a gibberish. Tell me, how will it technically do that?
On what "another page"? On the same website - yes. So what? Each website can do that.
