False Positive | brightcove.com

[ClevyPasserby]

What are the subjects of the false-positive (domains or URLS)?

• brightcove.com
• brightcove.net
• players.brightcove.net
• edge.api.brightcove.com

Why do you believe this is a false-positive?

I believe this is a false-positive because...
This affects edge.api.brightcove.com which is responsible for players.brightcove.net which plays wiley videos that cover math lessons.

How did you discover this false-positive(s)?

I discovered this false-positive by...
I was studying Trig on a school website and clicked on an outgoing link on a Trig lesson when the video was blocked, I checked the logs and found edge.api.brightcove.com being blocked.

Have you requested a review from other sources?

I have requested a review from...
BetterBlocklist
AdvancedBlocklist

Additional Information or Context

I have also noticed that...
Found it in domains1.list.
Also there is a previous issue similar to this.

[smed79]

edge.api.brightcove.com and players.brightcove.net are whitelisted in domains.list

brightcove.map.fastly.net and media.brightcove.map.fastly.net are blocked in "Wiggum27 hosts"

@Wiggum127 FYI

brightcove.com & brightcove.net are blocked in "notrack-blocklists"
Already reported 9 months ago gitlab/quidsup/notrack-blocklists#57

@funilrys FYI.

[ClevyPasserby]

I see that the domains are whitelisted, you see, I aggregate many blocklists and use python and golang scripts to filter out subdomains, dead domains and inactive domains. The subdomain script collects whole domains found and if it detects subdomains from the collected whole domains, then said subdomains are deleted. This in turn kind of made my curated aggregated whitelist (used to delete domains from my personal blacklist which are case sensitive) to be somewhat a bit ineffective as brightcove.com was detected.

Here's the logs from my domain checker script:

Files containing the domain:
brightcove.com is found in https%3A%2F%2Fhosts.ubuntu101.co.za%2Fdomains.list.txt at line 248058 which says brightcove.com
brightcove.com is found in https%3A%2F%2Fente.dev%2Fapi%2Fblocklist%2Ftracking.txt at line 15579 which says brightcove.com
brightcove.com is found in https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FLevi2288%2FAdvancedBlockList%2Fmain%2FLists%2Fprivacy.txt at line 964 which says brightcove.com

Are safe nowadays and don't contain pup / pua anymore

[Wiggum127]

metrics.brightcove.com and goku.brightcove.com should remain blocked due to ad tracking.

will drop f1.media.brightcove.com as this no longer exists
will drop brightcove.map.fastly.net due to false positive
will drop media.brightcove.map.fastly.net due to false positive

Edit: to be clear, these are the updates I did to my hosts file. So these changes will be reflected in the ultimate hosts file if my list is the only one with the fastly.net entries.

[spirillen]

Then let me ask you, as these data comes from external sources, which do you believe still are active, and which to be removed?
