Block of content meter

[inst]

Hi there,

I’m a developer of cm.js, which you are blocking by rule

Code: Select all

||mmi.bemobile.ua^

in https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus. ... rivacy.txt

I’d like to ask for reasons of blocking us since this script is not intended for tracking users, but rather to count ads.
To say more preciously we do not care about exact user, cm.js rather focuses on ads seen by average site visitor.
And as long as user has Adblock Plus installed, she won’t see any ads and respectively no activity makes sense by cm.js.

With best regards,
Yaroslav.

Seems somewhat tracking (or monitoring behavior), also note there are users who use Easyprivacy without Easylist.

Is there an example of the script being used?

I’m not using Adblock Plus and could’t understand your statement about EasyPrivacy with EasyList, can you clarify it please?
As for script, it is located at source.mmi.bemobile.ua/cm/cm.js

Here is a HAR-archived example of request sent by cm.js included on huge Russian-speaking news portal korrespondent.net:

}

Note the parameter result, which contains JSON-encoded array of found advertisements.
As I stated before, as long as there are no ads on page (that should be the case for AdBlock Plus users), no such request made by cm.js.
