Adobe list is not only for telemetry #1102

Open parasiteoflife opened 1 year ago

parasiteoflife commented 1 year ago

The Adobe block list is blocking www.adobe.com, www.behance.net and I see other hosts there too that have no indication of being used for telemetry like assets.adobe.com, creativecloud.com, fonts.adobe.com, licenses.adobe.com, among others. It seems the list includes anything related to Adobe.

This list https://github.com/PJGitHub9/PJsAdobeBlocklist/blob/main/Adobe%20Major%20Updated%20Blocklist.txt, which seems it's based on, not only blocks telemetry (which I'm not even sure is their intention), it blocks access to anything Adobe, you can even read in their headers/comments they specify the purpose of each section.

Information about Adobe's telemetry can be found here (though of course we can't trust those are the only ones used): https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/technotes/ip-addresses.html?lang=en

All of the domains are correctly added to tracking / spying

adobe is a tracking firm, not a software form. the software is just baitware to collect even more data from the pc directly.
