@SwordsLust I'm guessing it's because the URL you're trying to post looks like it contains an IP address, and Facebook must block those as a high security risk.
(Basilmarket does too, as do most web sites.)
Raw IP addresses are used by hackers to trick people into going to sites and servers that can contain evil malware because they don't contain any human readable text giving a clue about what the site or content might contain, so you never know what you're getting into with a bare IP address. Sites block the posting of addresses like that to prevent unaware users from being victimized.
I can't see the URL in the second screenshot, so I can't tell if it's consistent with that guess or not.
Like Edatron, I've never seen a popup like that on Facebook either.
To this day, I've never gotten those security pop-ups.
Facebook is literally ran by a Nazi.
