There is no option currently to prevent Facebook's tracking of users via links. Users could avoid Facebook, but that may not be possible all the time. URL tracking does not help much if other tracking means, e.g., through cookies or site data, are not available. While Facebook gets some information from URL-based tracking, it can't link it if no persistent data is available.
Does this positively or negatively influence your opinion of META's stock going forward? Not asking for a morality statement 🙂
It's a good reminder that not only do they have billions in cash on hand, they also have many of the world's smartest people working there.
