Overblocking of Flash content

[This behavior reported by David Bellamy ([email protected]). His email to Ed Felten is quoted below.]

The ad blocker blocks anything with flash content. It blocks an ebook( textbook on McGraw Hill's site) as ADCHOICES IDENTIFIED. The same happens on news videos on newspaper websites. The ad blocker identified parts of my Fidelity account as ADCHOICES IDENTIFIED.

It appears that any content using Flash is automatically labeled as ADCHOICES IDENTIFIED.
