There are tools which will strip tracking tags on copy. Firefox includes this, currently "Copy clean link" on the left-click context menu. What are needed are tools which will discard any tracking automatically on receipt, whether that's email, messaging clients, operating systems (e.g., Android alternatives, iOS ... I have suspicions Android itself won't willingly implement this unless forced by lawsuit or regulation), and/or browsers. It would also be nice to see sharing / social sites and platforms drop this crap as well. The commercially-oriented, advertising-supported ones likely won't (willingly, as per Android above), but I could see Mastodon or other federated noncommercial systems adopting this approach and cleaning submitted links by default. |
