Details:

As the name suggests, appears to be a new subdomain related to advertising/tracking on X/Twitter. Noticed it earlier when using Twitter, I blocked it and confirmed it hasn't caused any issues.

Thank you for supporting 1Hosts.

It’s people like you who make these lists great! ❤

I blocked it and confirmed it hasn't caused any issues.

Could you confirm it removed ads/tracking or is it a simple game of guessing?

Kind-of a simple game of guessing unfortunately, I doubt this will entirely block ads, I think it's a case where a browser content blocker is necessary, but blocking this doesn't seem to hurt.

it's the cname for s.twitter.com but it is blacklisted by twtrdns.net
