Are short links safe?

Last updated on 27 August 2026

A short link hides its destination, which makes it a tool that can be abused. That is why we scan the links on the platform continuously.

Every address created is checked against blocklists, and destinations involving phishing, malware or fraud are blocked. Links to executable files are not allowed.

When someone clicks a blocked link they are not forwarded — they see a warning page instead. If you come across something suspicious, you can report it to us.
