As someone who runs a small discussion forum its a great way for people who like to spam CSAM, malware, and other stuff I don't want in a way that gets past filters.

I think a conservative estimate of link shorteners usage is that 99% of cases are used by bad actors, and if they would all die out my life would be a lot easier. But, every week it seems some new one pops up and theres a new wave of spam to deal with.

At least thanks to this post I can add a new one to the filters before a wave of spam, so yay?
