Does anybody configure their phone to automatically scan photos for QR codes and visit the links?
I think as a precaution, barcode scanners stopped automatically going to links.
Even if a link isn't malicious, you can still get someone's IP address or device fingerprint.
IP would not be an issue, your phone is behind cgnat when using a mobile connection
