Hi @rogerdz companies that do brand surveillance do thousands of scans on people's sites and are generally considered a nuisance and the intention on this blocker is to block nuisances.
Companies that also use this data to sell services (see their pricing pages) are again using people's bandwidth and resources to earn money selling a service. Never had any complaints of these being blocked so whitelisting them for your own purposes is as simple as adding their User Agent names to your whitelist

Brand monitoring bots are no different to SEO company bots all of which are banned and will continue to be banned as they change UA, IP and domain names.

Were the comments meant for #559?
I see 2 related useragents in the global blacklist, but maybe they recently changed it?
