The curious 'geniuses' who click on those links are the ones who 'suffer'. Remember the "omg. look at this young girl getting caught into the act on webcam by her dad" links that you get to see all over Facebook? There are curious fools who click on those and are victimized. If you're smart enough, you wouldn't click on them and hence, you'd prevent from any suffering caused. 

Good job deactivating your profile in any case. It'll do you more good than bad.
