    I guess so, it depends how they are treating them though. Image files (probably) are not being used to distribute malware and are going to create a lot more dead links.

    Is this change live? We could probably test it. (Re read the article - not yet)

      It’s been partially live for weeks. If you copy a link to a file, including images, the link has the new parameters on it.
