while using shortened URLs from WDQS in the WikiCite report draft, it occurred to me that tinyurl.com is blacklisted on Meta. 

This is a major problem as it prevents concise URLs for gigantic queries from being linked from other Wikimedia wikis. Has anyone thought of this issue (Stas, Jonas?), in particular: should we ask Meta to remove the domain from the blacklist or potentially consider another URL shortening solution?
