Ask HN: Where to report sites that circumvent autoplay blocking?

I use Firefox, but apparently CNN can circumvent my autoplay blocking. I'd like to kick up some trouble to punish them for trying to circumvent it at all, and hopefully get Firefox to release a workaround for their workaround.

On every PC I have, the Ukraine "live feed" video at the top manages to start playing on its own as soon as I'm not looking. It doesn't do it at predictable times, but it usually does it as soon as I scroll down a bit, so I have to scroll up to turn it off. https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news...

I have Firefox, it doesn't start playing automatically here. I have some extensions running but the only relevant one should be uBlock origin.
