It's an EasyPrivacy bug? That list is developed with ridiculously cavalier attitude. A few months ago they blocked workers.dev wholesale[1], that is, the entirety of Cloudflare Workers, for some sort of third party request on torrentfreak.com. I was flooded with user reports that day, and several days afterwards thanks to list caching. I was shocked that people who seemingly have no idea of public suffixes are tasked with blocking domains.

  Hmm. I guess this is the rub of https://xkcd.com/2347/ https://xkcd.com/2347/ ("Dependency"): narratives along the lines of "half the world's infrastructure depends on this random tiny support column maintained by one specific super-smart individual in their spare time (give them more money)" can make for fun junk food to feed our inferiority complexes, but that kind of sentiment rings of a distinct positivity and optimism when compared to how that same infrastructure can wind up on life support by (perhaps unwitting) incompetents who find themselves with noone to give account to because of the entrenched position they've wound up in in the woodwork. I guess the moral of the story to me (TIL) is that there really is no limit to the places that Hanlon's razor (do not attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity) can pop up in the most cognitively-dissonant ways :v

  It's called a mistake. I see nothing "ridiculously cavalier" about it.

    There are certain categories of entirely preventable mistakes you don't make. Entirely preventable mistakes that cause reputation damage (see this very thread), lost revenue, a lot of wasted manpower, etc. on others. Blocking (and by definition, breaking to a certain extent) things shouldn't be taken lightly, if you can't do it responsibly don't do it. As someone running a FOSS web service who go out of their way to respect user privacy, I shouldn't be a victim of their crappy practice.
