Why is link shortener not working

If you encounter the error message "Sorry, we blocked this link because it may lead to spam" while trying to post content, it is likely due to URL shortening.

Shortened URLs can sometimes be flagged if they redirect to explicit, banned, or suspicious web pages. Platforms often block links that:

• Redirect to other pages,
• Contain misleading or inappropriate content,
• Appear spammy, or
• Violate their Terms of Service.

As a result, content that includes these URLs may not get published, and you'll see the "Sorry, we blocked this link because it may lead to spam" error.
