It looks like this needs to be updated again. Facebook likes to tack on ?fbclid=PDpsYoABR-dTfrnqEonoNetWrhfTbPsbEcOuxmOjxtPvuWisnIITMpydodLTP (example) to the end of external links.

I get this link from a facebook messenger sub-window within facebook.com when copying a youtube link.

There are two parts

I have sanitized the second part. I replaced [A-Z] and [a-z] and [0-9] with different random characters of the same type and case, leaving symbols alone. (Edit: That &y= should be &h=, the h was replaced with y in my sanitizer)
