On: Russian administration scrambles the election results to make them hard to parse

[sega_sai]

Specifically, instead of directly providing numbers in html, they do this <span class="wgb_arv">У</span><span class="wgb_arv">Ф</span><span class="wgb_arv">Р</span></b> <br>ж</td> which supposed to be an integer number. Apparently they have more than one way of doing that.

Just like Facebook does, right?

Where do they do that? I mean, the modern frameworks and trackers make front-end code very unreadable, but do they scramble some content?

To counter adblockers Facebook puts the text "Sponsored Ad" in multiple span, like each letter in a different one, so it's harder to blocks those posts on the timeline.

Ah, yes, you're right. I remember having done some temporary workaround, but it ceased to work since then.

Facebook does this on the post dates as well and elsewhere.
