example:

https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/29/23981928/elon-musk-ad-boycott-go-****-yourself-destroy-x

I c&p the link, but is is not changing text color and is unable to be opened from the post. What does this mean?
It’s the first link on this page:

https://www.google.com/search?q=musk/****+them&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari

EDIT: the second one didn’t “travel” either?
 
This site (DP) is not allowing the F word in the links ?

When I copy your link and paste in my search bar then remove the **** and place the F word there it works fine.

Seems there are sites you could use to shorten the link ?

Such as https://tinyurl.com/

Here is what the shortened link shows up as here:


Not sure if that constitutes bypassing the word filter or not.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge chimes in.

Best of luck.
 
You could replace **** with %66%75%63%6B (why these characters?).

And also put it in a URL tag (so the censored word doesn't show up in the website preview).

Code:
[URL]https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/29/23981928/elon-musk-ad-boycott-go-%66%75%63%6B-yourself-destroy-x[/URL]

That way people would still be able to see the website the link goes to – not some shortened link that could go to parts unknown.
