That link has your si in it. Your si is a tracking code Google uses to determine who clicked on links you shared. They want to know who your friends are for their social data models.
I had to explain this similar concept to a co-worker who always puts his tracking info in his parts orders. He didn’t understand until I started asking him about firearms parts he had been browsing on his own Amazon account.

His links are now sufficiently sanitized.
Additional recommendation: use https://linkcleaner.app or Léon URL Cleaner (Android) to automatically remove those pesky tracking parameters.
Firefox has a “copy link without tracking information”, in the right click menu btw
