Research direction
Start by locating the X.com rule in the ClearURLs rules database and check how its existing parameter cleanup handles s. Add the reported a parameter to the cleanup, then verify that both parameters are removed from the supplied URL while unrelated query parameters remain.

Description

What I did:
Clicked 'Share' -> 'Copy link'
What happened:
The a parameter is not removed, when the s parameter is.
What I expected instead:
The a parameter is removed. It's a unique fingerprint attached to each time the user presses 'Copy link'
Test with the Filter switch turned off:
With the filter off, it doesn't clear the s, but with it on, it clears just the s and not the a too
