Not only has this user been permanently banned from GitHub, seemingly GitLab, and across various platforms like Lemmy these lists are heavily outdated.
This user has also been reported to be stealing people's work and passing it off as theirs in many privacy and security communities along with spreading misinformation. See:
This user is not able to maintain their lists or be a trustworthy and credible source.
An attempt at removing this user's lists was done at nextdns/metadata#507 however it's unclear why this was rejected. The user is banned across platforms and cannot maintain their lists. Keeping stale lists in NextDNS doesn't make sense.
Some of these "so called NSA domains" are benign CDNs like access.akamai.com and OpenDNS (auth3.opendns.com) with zero prevalence or indication that it's a "NSA spying domain".
