facebook Stream Post URL Security Migration

can someone explain me about this migration? https://developers.facebook.com/roadmap/secure_stream_urls_migration/

all links in stream posts must go to the app's Canvas or Website URL.

app's Canvas is url of my site or url like: https://apps.facebook.com/myApp/

from today I can't post links like https_://apps.facebook.com/myApp/ from several apps, external links works fine

Solution

    After enabled:

    However, user still can share:
