Ok, we'll make the title say programmable instead.

Url changed from https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/22/france-confirms-data-breac..., which points to this.

I've taken the "captured on film" out of the title above and used representative language from the article. If someone can suggest a better (more accurate and neutral) title, we can change it again. (But the subject is interesting whether on film or not, let alone "for the first time".)

  Heavy slop (5+ patterns) · 105 sites · 21%
  Mild (2–4) · 230 sites · 46%
  Clean (0–1) · 165 sites · 33%

Can we have a list of the "clean" ones please? Actually, if you give me a list of the IDs for all 3 categories, I'll make URLs for each that people can browse.

If the community feels that the division is useful, then we can maybe take you up on your offer to open-source the project, and perhaps find a way to use it on HN itself.

Love the idea. Let me get to this over the weekend and open-source it, then ping you via email.
