it would be quite something, if the links actually went to/through malicious sites...

Maybe 1 of a thousand redirects actually does go to a malicious site.

It's why they have a report feature. No idea how well they moderate things tho.

I used to run a public link shortener. Once the scammers catch wind and add it to their rotation all bets are off. I got inundated with reports and my standing with my web host would have been at risk as well (long story). I now use Shlink on those domains lol.
