Google's new ad servers with cn #15643

Description

@MkQtS

In privacy-protection-tools/anti-AD#781, we found many google ad domains with -cn suffix. (These domain are recorded in the Chinese regulator under a Google company, so they do belong to Google)

I just compared them with easyprivacy+easylist list

! New domains
2mdn-cn.net
admob-cn.com
doubleclick-cn.net
googleadservices-cn.com
google-analytics-cn.com
googleoptimize-cn.com
googletagmanager-cn.com
googletagservices-cn.com

The domains above have exact prototypes in easyprivacy+easylist,

! Existing rules
||2mdn.net^
||admob.com^
||doubleclick.net^
||googleadservices.com^$third-party
||google-analytics.com^$third-party
||googleoptimize.com^
||googletagmanager.com^
||googletagservices.com^

And 3 domains contain obvious keywords:

! New domains
googleads-cn.com
googleadsserving.cn
googlevads-cn.com

Also, there is googlesyndication-cn.com, and googlesyndication.com is partly blocked in EasyList.


We have only found few dns records so far, no other evidence now.

Some of these domains may be added into EasyPrivacy. For others, do I need to report them to EasyList China?
