E.g., bought a domain that previously hosted AI content.

E.g., Whitehouse.com used to be a porn site, now it’s not.

Before buying a domain you should check if it's present in blacklists.

That would be like refusing to allow someone to buy a house because the last owner was a convicted of a crime. Sorry, we gotta demolish the house now! And nobody can live on the plot.

The owner of this repo is free to do whatever they want but I’m free to point out that it’s a dumb practice.

You should stop thinking by analogies. You're doing a disservice to yourself and your thinking capacity.

I find it very useful, just like most of its users, and if ever I were to find it necessary to use a website that's obviously blocked, I know how to unblock it. Most of the time I don't bother, so that's something for you to think.
