Blocking such links doesn't make the sites go away.
The sites are still there, it just makes it harder for Wikipedians to keep
tabs on it and warn people who get listed.

identaties this may be required.
The blocking policy has for a long time regarded publishing personal
information as blockable behaviour.
True, but that is of little help if it is done by people outside of

Well, the issue at hand is linking to such sites. Linking to people
outside of Wikipedia who do this, for the purpose of furthering what
they are doing, is blockable under current policy.
