Yes and this includes tons and tons of phishing, malicious etc links, so finding it blacklisted is more right than wrong...

Just my 2 cents. but I know many blindly trust Elon's clickbait machine

I understand your concerns regarding t.co links.

While I don't use X (formerly Twitter), similar issues exist with other URL shorteners like bit.ly, which are not currently blacklisted. Blacklisting all such services would significantly disrupt many online platforms.

A more nuanced approach might be a categorized blacklist ( adding tags for shortlinks, ads, etc). This would provide greater flexibility and control.

I agre, and @mypdns might be something for you then, The lists are categorized and all domains are human verified

t.co is already whitelisted in data/twitter.

For the removal, report the false positive to the upstream repo.
