7 <p class='faq-question'>What is this?</p>
9 Bigly is the opposite of Bit.ly: it's a link unshortener. Put in a link that
10 has been shortened using Bit.ly, TinyURL, Short.io, or any similar site, and
11 get back the longer link that the shortened URL points to.
14 <p class='faq-question'>Why?</p>
16 URL shorteners often collect data about the people using their service,
17 violating your privacy. Bigly doesn't do that: the code is libre software,
18 so you can verify that yourself by looking at the code.
21 Additionally, shortened URLs can be used to mask links to malicious or NSFW
22 websites. Bigly lets you see where the link is taking you before you go to it.
