I do remember an AA lounge in the USA also, MSY if my memories serves me well.

Are you suggesting FT contact those lounges and ask them to remove them as they are a legit site that just happens to have bitcoin mining within its ads as well as personal data fishing through ads ?
I also recall clearly the BBC was blacklisted in a number of airline lounges.

Are these statements of yours facts or allegations? Is it FT mining bitcoin etc. or the advertisers? Does FT legally have control of what it’s advertisers do? These are questions I’m asking because I really don’t know.

Did I make any suggestions in my post?

It could be possible, technically, though I have no idea if Internet Brands would be interested in acting, for IB to contact providers of workplace filtering software to request removal from a blacklist (though I’m certain more than a few companies intentionally block what they see as leisure sites that interfere with workplace productivity). IMO, the most effective way to restore a non-malicious site blocked by an airline lounge, etc. is to make petition or complain to the owner or operator.
