Totally unrelated to the Boeing that lost a wheel last week or the Boeing that had "a strong movement" today, injuring 50.

I don't use it anymore, but some friends who are still on FB tend to grab whatever link gets copied onto the clipboard and share the spaghetti links like this with a bunch of trackers. I'm guessing this one was Twitter. But regardless, I'm always thinking, do they not notice or care??

If they are still using Facebook, they most likely have a limited understanding of the internet, and have no idea what query parameters are, so they think the full "link from the Google search bar" is required
