Depuis quelques temps je vois passer dans les timelines des liens externes en share[.]google. Ils sont créés par Discover, une fonctionnalité d'Android qui permet de partager les articles de presse qu'elle affiche dans son flux d'actualités personnalisé. Comme je ne l'utilise pas, il m'a fallu un moment pour piger… 😅

Les raccourcisseurs de liens sont inutiles sur Masto (chaque url compte pour 23 caractères). En plus, ils cachent l'adresse du lien, ce qui peut faciliter les attaques de type phishing. Et la pérennité de ce genre de services n'est pas garantie. Google vient justement d'annoncer l'abandon de goo[.]gl avant de changer d'avis en catastrophe le 1er août. Beaucoup d'autres, comme tr[.]im et su[.]pr, ont déjà disparu au fil des ans.

Si vous aimez Discover, vous ignorez peut-être que le raccourcissement automatique des liens peut être désactivé dans les préférences : « Sur votre téléphone ou tablette Android, ouvrez l'appli Google. En haut à droite, appuyez sur votre photo de profil ou initiale puis Paramètres puis Général. Désactivez l'option Raccourcir les liens vers les pages Web. »

@padraig and now you know why I think #LinkShorteners should be outlawed!

I’m with @gruber on this one; I don’t trust Google any further than I can toss them: “I trust Google with almost nothing long-term. Mark my words, they’re going to do with this Gmail accounts eventually.”
