This makes me 😭

UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

It would be a poor IT department if they just blindly implemented a block list that had been handed to them and allowed that block list to be updated regularly with no oversight as to what was changing.

Not to say there aren't companies that do that, because there are plenty...

Well there wouldn't be a company for very long if they're blocking potential customers
