Facebook has announced it will roll out a new option called Link History to mobile users around the world. What does that mean?

This is only a problem if you use the Facebook app, which you obviously shouldn’t be doing.

Facebook has a whole other method for desktop where they hijack the links other users post and insert their own tracking links.
