In the above article (from a reputable, mainstream magazine) about privacy, some links go via eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com, including in the paragraph that starts 'Consumers groups say deceptive behaviour by companies is rife.'. By clicking the link in that paragraph, you're taken via eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com before being redirected to the actual url.

On the face of it, this looks like a good thing because safe links are good right? But is this an example of deception? Most people will be unaware that ur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com may be receiving private/navigation information.
