Embedded Tweet widgets being blocked #9
Comments
@eugf Thanks for reporting :) |
Thanks anudeepND! In my testing of explicitly whitelisting Do you know what |
I think it's kind of tracking domain, but it's not present in any other blacklist. I will add it again. |
With your hint, I found these after filtering out all the malware results Seems to be a paid ad service, which sounds like a Promoted ad on Google, except that it shows up off the Twitter platform in aggregated Twitter feeds. I would imagine something like a news site that shows the latest tweets. Thanks for adding it back on! I think the community will benefit from this being on your blacklist. |
This domain on your blacklist cdn.syndication.twimg.com seems to target the widgets used on sites to embed Tweets.
For reference, this is the site I noticed it on
https://www.iflscience.com/environment/truck-driver-ignored-signs-and-drove-across-perus-2000yearold-nasca-lines/
And I narrowed it down with the help of this forum
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1189443?page=2
Specifically, this section
" This address should pop up a download dialog (no need to download):
https://cdn.syndication.twimg.com/tweets.json?callback=__twttr.callbacks.cb0&ids=950804340675088384&lang=en&suppress_response_codes=true&tz=GMT-0800 "
CDN is a Content Delivery Network, and as far as I can tell it seems to load images. Another domain I saw used it for shopping and keeping the pictures on their server rather than the store's own website. Here is the Wiki for reference

Is there a history of abusing the Twitter CDN for ads? If not would it be possible to remove this from your blacklist?
