GrapheneOS on Nostr: Content filtering based on enumerating things that are only used for ads, tracking, ...

Content filtering based on enumerating things that are only used for ads, tracking, etc. and not for anything useful is inherently incapable of fundamentally protecting privacy. It can only provide an opportunistic reduction in exposure to privacy invasive practices. In practice, adblockers cannot and do not block services which are used for both useful functionality and ads/tracking. It is not simply that they are easy to bypass due to enumerating badness.
