Creating a kind of all.json for other ways of scamming

[frankywild]

Hello @jacogr,

I was wondering if it is possible to create something like all.json but for twitter accounts or invite links to telegram such as

[Scam alert] t.me/Polkadot1 or twitter.com/Polkadot_helps

Thanks

There has been a lot. I think we can even extend the current list with something like „denySubs“.

Also need to adjust the underlying libraries to check and block.

Will look into possible options.

Hello @jacogr, any updates on this?

Thanks!

No update from me.

There is no reason (although not checked), that we cannot start adding these. There are a couple of options -

• top-level site, aka

"denySubs": {
  "x.com": [
    "jacogr"
  ]
}

• explicit links

"denySubs": [
  "https://x.com/jacogr"
]

... now thinking about it, it will probably be dropped if added since we sort these and only extract the deny and allow keys, so it won't check for these. So "just starting to add" would not be kept once CI is done.

Out of the 2 options above, which one is better for the team adding these? (full-url-per-line or grouped-by-domain)

I would say the second option because we want to add also telegram/discord/youtube (any other platform where the scam is happening) and would be easier I think.

Hey @jacogr! I hope you are doing well.

I tried to add subdomains here #4275 and here #4276 but the extension is not blocking it, I don't really know why.
