Errors from Taboola?

We started getting errors in our system on May 11, 2023 which are coming from some third party integration. The information we get related to the error seems to point to it coming from a call to Taboola:

So far we have received close to 4,000 instances of an error with the message of "Cannot read property 'effectiveType' of undefined". I did some digging and it looks to come from this library https://github.com/microsoft/clarity. We do not use that library in our codebase.

Could you check with your contacts at Taboola to see if their system uses that clarity.js library and/or if there were any updates around May 11th?
