Facebook(Meta) prefetches short links in advance (tracks them incorrectly) and points the users directly to the destination (original long) URL.
You might consider opting out of prefetching, even though it has several advantages for advertisers and publishers, for example, it may reduce a site's loading time and enhance ad performance or web page engagement.
To disable prefetch
Prerequisites
In order to disable prefetch, you should have access to developers.facebook.com and have created a developer application.
Web page settings
Change the HTML of the long URL for which you want to opt out prefetching as follows:
in the <header> section add the tag
<meta property= “fb:app_id” content= “<your_app_id>” />
Facebook settings
Make sure Facebook is aware of the link between your HTML document and your app ID in the developers.facebook.com/tools/debug settings. If needed, trigger again a re-crawl (you can find more information on the Facebook Crawler here).
In developers.facebook.com select Settings and then Advanced.
Under Domain Manager, click on Add a link.
Under the Prefetch setting section:
enter your URL
deselect HTML or Javascript and CSS depending on your need
Save.
According to the Facebook documentation, in most cases, these changes will take effect immediately, but in some scenarios, it could take up to a few hours.
