By the rule of all web technology sucks and is untrustworthy, they block 10.0.0.0 and 192.168.0.0, but inexplicably allow 172.16.0.0-172.31.255.255.

(Or at least, that was what someone else claimed last time this came up on HN)

Who's "they" in this context? It's unclear to me if this refers to eBay or browser vendors.
