Some URL shortening service providers have found themselves on spam blocklists, because of the use of their redirect services by sites trying to bypass those very same blocklists. As a result, many have been removed from online registries or shut down by web hosts or internet service providers. The convenience offered by URL shortening also introduces potential problems, which have led to criticism of the use of these services.

Short URLs often circumvent the intended use of top-level domains for indicating the country of origin; domain registration in many countries requires proof of physical presence within that country, although a redirected URL has no such guarantee. There are security implications, and obsolete short URLs remain in existence and may be circulated long after they cease to point to a relevant or even extant destination. This may include URLs that expire after a certain amount of time, on a certain date or after a certain number of usages. Often regular unshortened links may be aesthetically unpleasing. This may sometimes be done using short, CAPTCHA-protected URLs, but this is not common. Some websites prevent short, redirected URLs from being posted.
