I don’t share links on here, I have reasons for this:

I value my anonymity, and anytime you share a link you open yourself to the possibility of hackers gaining access to your personal information. I’m not saying this happens automatically, but I know it makes it more possible.

I think you've said this before, and I literally do not understand why you believe that posting a URL here can even possibly allow a hacker to get your personal data. Can you elaborate on why you think this?

I am pasting a random link from one of my open tabs:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Fiona#Eastern_Canada

If you posted the same link, or anyone else here posted the same link, it literally only functions to display a page on Wikipedia. There is no personal identifying info associated with a URL. That isn't how a computer network operates.
