That's great, but that's not what this project appears to be focused on. It currently has a hardcoded blocklist, some of which is clearly just right-wing news/opinion with little to no ads - clearly not what you've described as spam sites.
- tptacek 10y agoWhich one from the list are you thinking of? The last one someone (a clearly reasonable commenter) picked out turned out to be a perfect example of the kinds of sites I'm talking about. Incidentally: I have nothing to say about the utility of this particular project. I just know that there really is fakenews, and it's not subjective.
