Updates to IFTAS Denylists and Access Options

At IFTAS, our mission is to equip Social Web moderators and administrators with the tools and data they need to keep their communities safe. To make managing moderation feeds easier, more flexible, and more accessible across various platforms, we have rolled out several updates to our Do Not Interact (DNI), Abandoned and Unmanaged Domain (AUD), and CARIAD denylists.

  • All documentation pages have been updated to reflect the growing ecosystem of platforms that natively support, integrate, or offer IFTAS denylists as default options,
  • While our legacy WordPress-hosted CSV files remain fully available for backwards compatibility, we are introducing direct-from-source downloads for all lists, and FIRES options where available,
  • Machine-readable streams are best for automated scripts, moderation tools, and platform integrations. Human-friendly versions are browser download CSVs for manual imports.

Introducing the Omnibus File

Managing multiple lists can create unnecessary administrative overhead. To streamline access for operators who want comprehensive coverage, we’ve launched an Omnibus File. The Omnibus combines our DNI, AUD, and the CARIAD 51% consensus tier into a single list available in both machine-readable and human-friendly formats.

The Omnibus is available on the Denylist Resources library page.

Consuming Data with Pelago FIRES

Where available, we are now linking to Pelago FIRES as an option for consuming our denylist feeds. FIRES provides service administrators with a robust way to subscribe/automate list imports directly.

Granular CARIAD Consensus Tiers

As part of the CARIAD Domain Observatory transition, CARIAD is now available in three distinct consensus thresholds based on observed network domain blocks:

  • 51% Consensus & Above (this also serves as the replacement for the legacy CARIAD feed)
  • 66% Consensus & Above
  • 80% Consensus & Above

Note for CARIAD users: The legacy CARIAD file (iftas-cariad-latest.csv) will be deprecated on September 30, 2026. Please update your automated jobs or subscriptions to point to the new consensus tier files or the Omnibus file as appropriate.
