Is it true you won't be able to use link shortening when you're an Amazon affiliate anymore? I'm not sure if I have that right, but I think that's one of the new changes with Amazon Affiliates.

Yes, it's true

It’s difficult to decipher exactly what they mean by shortened links as Amazon has a built in link shortener when sharing on social media services like Twitter but speculations point toward instances where marketers have been abusing Amazon links using services like Bit.ly or TinyURL through email marketing, fake blogs, and other unethical methods.
