It is described as opinionated but is introduced with "they need to be blocked by default." The idea that you need to block entire ASNs from your network based on the content some of their IPs host is ridiculous.
Imagine banning an entire apartment block from entering your store based on the opinions some of the tenants hold. Using arbitrary lists like these devalues small, independent companies in favor of large corporations that are too big to be blacklisted. A requirement to police content disproportionately burdens smaller service providers, while mega corps essentially get to dictate what is allowed because no one dares to lock them out.
I cannot support far-right values like these.
