Comment (by cypherpunks):
I can confirm what you're seeing.
Sched.co links are rewritten to bit.ly links by HTTPS Everywhere
internally, maintaining the relative part of the URI. This causes the
faulty redirect to spammy URLs.
You can see this is what's happening by replacing the 'sched.co' with
'bit.ly' manually when browsing while HTTPS Everywhere is disabled. You'll
end up on the same spammy sites.
