I am requesting the addition of several domains to the Clickbait DNS block list. These domains are part of the “Shadow Network” identified through recent research. The network comprises a collection of websites engaged in publishing misinformation that aligns with Beijing’s geopolitical interests.

The listed domains do not belong to legitimate news, blog, or media organizations. Instead, they are part of a network designed to manipulate search engine optimization (SEO) for political agendas.

Research Details:

For a comprehensive understanding, please refer to the research report:

Shadow Network Research Report

The research identified over 200 websites engaged in disseminating misinformation. The analyzed subset of these websites reveals a coordinated effort to influence perceptions both locally and globally. These websites are connected through various means, including backlinks, identical DNS infrastructure, site builders, user accounts, or WHOIS records.

I only included the ones that were verified below.

List of Domains:

The domains listed below represent a small subset of hundreds of similar sites identified through the research:
