We keep cutty.dev links trustworthy

A short link is only as good as the trust in the domain it comes from. That's why we've started actively catching and disabling short links that point to content breaking our terms — gambling and spam, phishing pages, malware, and illegal or copyright-infringing content.

What someone who opens a disabled link sees

Instead of a dead "not found" error, we now show a clear explanation page — with the specific reason the link was disabled, and a contact link in case someone thinks it's a mistake. The page adapts to the visitor's language.

Why it matters

This isn't just housekeeping. When someone abuses an open shortener to spread gambling or scam links, it hurts the reputation of the whole domain — and therefore every link, including yours. By staying on top of this, we make sure a cutty.dev link opens without warnings and without losing trust.
