[Remove Request] - vms.bluebillywig.com

Open ikheetjeff opened this issue 5 months ago • 0 comments

URL you wish to be removed:

  • vms.bluebillywig.com

Why you believe this to be a false positive:

The URL is causing the player to stop functioning on various Dutch regional news websites. As far as I can tell, bluebillywig.com is purely a player provider, and for example, ads are loaded externally before the player starts.

On the website rtvutrecht.nl, you can see that the player no longer loads at all and only a black box remains:

List it is on: https://blocklistproject.github.io/Lists/ads.txt

Other info you think we should know:

In the Netherlands, all regional news websites use the same backend provided by Regiogroei.nl. Due to this block, the player no longer works on all of these websites:

- ustad.nl  
- rijnmond.nl  
- gld.nl  
- rtvdrenthe.nl  
- rtvnoord.nl  
- omroepzeeland.nl  
- 1limburg.nl  
- oost.nl  
- west.nl  
- rtvutrecht.nl  
- omropfryslan.nl  
- denhaagfm.nl  
- nieuwsplein33.nl  
- bingofm.nl

When you only whitelist cdn.bluebillywig.com, each website loads its own bbvms.com URL (e.g., rtvutrecht.bbvms.com or rijnmond.bbvms.com).

However, all of these are CNAMEs pointing to vms.bluebillywig.com, which seems like a more logical domain to remove from the blocklist. Let me know if you need me to provide more information on this.

I do think it's important that stats.bluebillywig.com remains blocked.
