Which domain(s) should be blocked?

recommendation-api.almamedia.io

Why should these domain(s) be blocked?

I am guessing this is a tracker used in a lot of finnish media. Since Alma Media owns a ton of news sites and other popular sites.

Such APIs typically serve to analyze user interactions, predict preferences, and deliver content accordingly, playing a key role in the backend of many media platforms. Alma Media, like other media organizations, likely uses this technology to improve the personalization of their digital platforms, thereby keeping users engaged by delivering tailored content.

The use of recommendation systems, however, can raise issues of fairness, bias, and the creation of “filter bubbles,” where users are only exposed to a narrow range of content.
