direct link keeps getting removed on facebook

Facebook's automated systems are sensitive to direct URLs, especially if they have been previously flagged or link to content that violates their policies. But I haven't found a workaround yet.

FB is strict with certain URLs, especially if the domain has a negative history. The safest way is to build trust with a clean domain, add it to Business Manager, and keep posting non-link content to warm it up.
 
Sometimes the domain itself is flagged—try testing with a clean domain + proper cloaking setup instead.
 
Check the domain. If there are no issues with it, use a landing page to mask your site
 
The workaround I would try is I'll create a simple website on sites like Wordpress/Wix/SquareSpace/etc. Just a free one, no need to make a premium account. Then. I'll place a button there that sends the visitor to where I really want to send them. I'll make this site look decent, at least, but no need to make it really pretty. Then, I'll get the link to this website and that's what I'll post on Facebook.
 
Using URL shorteners or redirects often doesn’t help since the system can still detect the destination.
 
I finally found the problem I was having and I found the solution thanks to this post. Thanks for your post
 
If Facebook flags your domain, no amount of masking will fix it. The best move is to change to a clean domain and rebuild trust before sharing links again.
 
The Best Solution: Use the Facebook Sharing Debugger tool. Enter your website link and Facebook will tell you if it's blocked. From there, you can submit an appeal to get your domain unblocked. This is the only way to solve the problem permanently.
Temporary Workarounds: While you wait for an appeal, try these methods:
Link in Bio: Post an image or text with a call to action to "check the link in my bio."
First Comment: Post your content, then immediately add the link in the first comment of the post.
 
If you want to post links without them being deleted, you must post clean links that do not contain content that violates the policy. Then your other links will be accepted.
 
Meta doesnt not allow Direct Links at the moment. You can still use them, but they are using their software to detect users who are using direct links. That being said, use a link service that has a landing page. Your profiles should be fine from there.
 
I have seen some big creators put their links in comment section and pin it for every audience that visits the comment section to see. I believe that is allowed, you can also try it and see and if the link is too long, you can shorten it with 'tinyurl'
 
If it keeps getting removed their filter likely flags something so review for policy issues and share in a regular post or story with natural wording
