Comment on YSK: Social media platforms attach trackers to the end of share URLs (which you can and should delete)

Indeed, not all UTM tracking parameters are harmful. For example, you could have parameters like ?src=email&amp;campaign=summer2023 that would denote how users engaged with the URL, without necessarily identifying them.

Many platforms, however, will try to identify you and collect as much as possible.
