False-positive URL filter
Hello Steam community!

Today I noticed Steam has blacklisted the anilist.co link on my profile, therefore displaying the {link removed} instead of the specified URL. This is a legitimate anime and manga database website and is not known to be malicious or redirecting users to any sort of phishing webpage.

Why is it removed? Is there machine-learning involved at hand?

I've removed it. This wildcard gives too many issues and shouldn't have been added.

Is there no chance for it to be removed from the filter? As far as I'm concerned I don't think anilist is affiliated with any kind of dangerous website
