Describe the issue

There is currently happening several political strikes in Finland, where unions are taking their stance against the goverment. https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/security_guard_3-day_strike_to_start_on_wednesday/10469154

Few days ago the maintainer of FIN: Finnish Addition to Easylist -list, called Adblocker for Finland. Decided to block several union websites to make political statement about these strikes.

Direct link to the list - https://adb.juvander.net/Finland_adb.txt Archive.is -version - https://archive.is/1WYkz#selection-3137.30-3225.2

I don't really think filter lists are suitable enviroment to make political statements and the maintainer is abusing his power with actions like these. Thus please consider removing this filterlist from uBo's assets.json

Screenshot(s)

Screenshot of blocking the website pam.fi Screenshot of the filters Rough ranslation: Statement about the union strikes. Will be removed after the strikes. Screenshot of FB post made by the maintainer Rough translation: As a objection to actions of trade unions.The finnish adblocking list now block sites of those unions which are joining the strike. Not all sites are there, but more are coming. They will removed after the unions start to respect the goverment again by stopping these political strikes.

Not sure if this is the right repo to make an issue about this list. Sorry in advance.
