Describe the issue

Hello, this list was recently (and automatically?) activated for Romanian users.
The problem is that the maintainers have a political agenda.

For example, in the issue at tcptomato/ROad-Block#18 some user asks why the site stiripesurse.ro is blocked and the response is because the site is listed at a third party site https://verificasursa.ro/

I will quote the explanation given at https://verificasursa.ro/intrari/stiripesurse.ro (machine translation)

At first, a little history. Originally as a platform of gossip, shifts and political shucks, pesurse.ro has earned its fame to present the fastest information behind closed doors. The revolution had a significant impact on the success of the platform, but also increased competition on this media segment. After the bowel fight on the domain name, the website of pesurse.ro split in stiripesurse.ro and psnews.ro. Both platforms have increased their number of collaborators and have invested in increasing quality journalism with more or less success. As with any kind of journalistic approach, you present unforeseen and unrecognized information, with SOURCES titles, we recommend you pay more attention to both sites.

As a matter of fact I personally don't trust or like many of the news sites we have (international ones included) but I think that block lists should stick with blocking ads, annoyances and third party exposure and not block entire sites based on opinions of even more questionable people.
