With the Online News Act in Canada, Facebook currently blocks links of certain media. Here is how to by-pass that.
Step 1: copy your original story link. This may be "https://www.marxist.com/down-with-hypocrisy-defend-gaza-imt-statement.htm" for example.
Step 2: Go to https://www.base64encode.org/ . Paste the link there and click on "Encode". You will get text that looks like this:
aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWFyeGlzdC5jb20vZG93bi13aXRoLWh5cG9jcmlzeS1kZWZlbmQtZ2F6YS1pbXQtc3RhdGVtZW50Lmh0bQ==
Copy this text.
Step 3: Go to https://www.urlencoder.org/ . Paste the text from the previous step and click on "Encode". You will get text that looks like this:
aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWFyeGlzdC5jb20vZG93bi13aXRoLWh5cG9jcmlzeS1kZWZlbmQtZ2F6YS1pbXQtc3RhdGVtZW50Lmh0bQ%3D%3D
Copy this text.
Step 4: Append the copied text to the link
https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmRxawN83bVcMq66GpfwxNb49WoPiFxNG7cUfat3kxhMpo?filename=vaivai.html&link=
So you will have a long link like
https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmRxawN83bVcMq66GpfwxNb49WoPiFxNG7cUfat3kxhMpo?filename=vaivai.html&link=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWFyeGlzdC5jb20vZG93bi13aXRoLWh5cG9jcmlzeS1kZWZlbmQtZ2F6YS1pbXQtc3RhdGVtZW50Lmh0bQ%3D%3D
This is the link that you can share. This link will take readers to the original link with what is called a "redirect". Try it!
