new domain for blocking
In germany there is a dissuation campaign suspected to be fraud. Users are ordered to pay a fine and to omit viewing explicit videos on redtube.com. The users are identified via the ip address. The way to identify the ip addresses seems to be tricky (referrers /redirections -> see: heise.de). One domain in the chain is trafficholder.com an adult traffic broker. I ask you therefore to put this domain into the list of the blocked domains

odds are that the next "campaign" will use another method, regardless the domain is probably a tracker on its own.
The redtube issue serves as a nice example why using Ghostery and similar tools is always a good idea, since they reduce the range of such exploits possible.
On a sidenote, the best method against redirection abuse (e.g. typo domains that go to "you have won an ..." sites) is using a tool like requestpolicy since that will block unknown redirects, that works nicely together with Ghostery.Comment -

I'm a bit skeptical here, and recommend taking no action without solid justification.
I'm not finding scripts, images, iframes, etc. — just link targets (and mostly text links at that). I've seen some TH logos, but they appear to be first-party, not hosted on trafficholder.com. I don't believe there's anything here that Ghostery would find interesting. Post example URLs if you have any.
