Hello!
Two of our domains are been blocked by Vodafone's Securenet system. The affected domains are part of an online tool to manage social networks. Domains are shorteners that are used to track links that users share on their social networks. We understand that from time to time, these domains have been used to share a link to a fraudulent website, but we always work actively to eliminate shortened links that can redirect to malware or phishing pages. I understand that the objective of Securenet would be to block the final pages but that by mistake it has blocked the shortener.
We have more than 1 million users on our platform and it would be necessary to remove the block to these two domains so that users of the platform who become a legitimate user can continue using the service without problem. The affected domains are:
mtr.cool
mtr.bio
An example link would be:
https://mtr.bio/metricool
Thank you for your assistance.
