[Remove Request] - vms.bluebillywig.com
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.
